My friend recently bought a PC, he got everything connected, and when he turned on the PC everything starts for a split second and then immediately turns off. He brought it into school one day and our IT instructor examined it and concluded that it was the motherboard. Long story short he replaced it with the motherboard that Amazon sent back, which was the same model, and it still did the same thing.
A few things to note:
We replaced the power supply with another one just to make sure it wasn't a power issue, and it still did the same thing.
We took the CPU out and placed it inside one of the test builds we had in the class and everything worked fine.
We boiled it down to the motherboard, but like I said above, he got a replacement and it still did the same thing.
One of my friends that saw the front panel connectors mentioned that they did look pretty sketchy, the 6 wires were all together in one black connector marked F_PANEL. Not sure if that's normal, but I know for a fact that's not how mine were designed. But even then, the button on the case is designed to turn the power supply on and then it takes over right?
We didn't test the RAM, but wouldn't the PC still boot into bios?
If any of you have any thoughts please comment below, LITERALLY ANYTHING would help at this point, I learned that the smallest of issues can really mess with a PC, thanks.
