Hey guys/gals I am having a problem with my new build and I'm pretty demoralized at this point.
Here is my build:
CPU: Ryzen 9 3900x
Cooler: Kraken x63
Motherboard: Asus TUF X570-PLUS
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws 32GB DDR4
Storage: Samsung 970 evo m.2
GPU: EVGA Geforce RTX 2080 Super
PSU: EVGA Supernova GT 750 gold
Case: Lian Li Lancool II
For reference on PC Part Picker except I can't find the case or PSU so plugged in similar items: pcpartpicker
When everything is plugged in and turned on the motherboard has it's RGB lights glowing but when I press the power button nothing happens, no fans, no sounds, no error indications from the motherboard. I did a test on the power supply thinking that it was bad. Turns out it is an "Automatic ECO" with no switch to disable it so you can't actually test the PSU. I had a friend loan me one of his PSUs that works, hooked it all up and nothing new except his PSU that doesn't have an ECO turned on.
Other things I have tried:
Used working case to try to power PC thinking case power button might be broken, still nothing
I have got down to 1 stick of ram, alternating them to see if that was the problem, no luck
My current conclusion is the motherboard is bad
I have to have my GPU in because there is no onboard graphics. I have reseated, replugged everything in.
I even reseated/repasting the process though it's AMD and it goes right into place without fuss.
Reset CMOS by removing battery and also jumping reset per motherboard instructions
I am not the most experienced PC builder in the world but I'm not a complete amateur. I also had my friend come help diagnose last night who has built quite a few PCs. The current conclusion is that the motherboard is bad but I can't say with 100% certainty. Another point is I have already had to drive back to Microcenter 3 times now and it's about a 45 minute drive one way. I'm trying my best to social distance and not be exposing myself in the store multiple times. I have put a lot of time into this build and I'm really over messing with it and driving back and forth to Microcenter. I am to the point where I'm looking at buying a premade powerspec PC from microcenter or a cyberpower pc from best buy which I'll link here as well:
PowerSpec prebuilt
- crap GPU i can replace later on, probably upgrade PSU to a gold
CyberPowerPC
- lots of unknowns on the brands until purchased and opened up, fairly pricey but also has a 2080 TI.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
