Hello. I am sorry if this post is in the wrong category, please move it to the appropriate category if this is not the correct one.
I recently bought a new RTX 3070 to replace my GTX 1060.
I then tried to turn on the computer with the power button. Turned on for 0.1 second, then off. The motherboard LED turns on for the same amount of time. I then tried debugging by:
System:
I'm starting to worry that I have somehow broken my motherboard, but I can't see how when I have properly grounded and disconnected everything from the power when just changing the GPU.
Is there something obvious I am missing in my debugging?
All tips are greatly appreciated as I am getting increasinly worried..
Thank you.
I recently bought a new RTX 3070 to replace my GTX 1060.
- I unplugged all devices (USB keyboard, mouse, screens, everything)
- I unplugged the PSU from the wall socket, and turned the PSU switch to 0.
- I opened the case, made sure I was grounded correctly.
- I removed the GTX 1060.
- I installed the RTX 3070.
- Put the case lid back on.
I then tried to turn on the computer with the power button. Turned on for 0.1 second, then off. The motherboard LED turns on for the same amount of time. I then tried debugging by:
- Unplugging and removing the RTX 3070.
- Unplugging all fans, except the CPU fan.
- Removing the SSD drive.
- Removing the RAM chips.
- Jump started the PSU - GPU works as expected, fan spins.
- Removed motherboard from case onto a non-conductive surface, connected the PSU to only the motherboard - both cables. Tried to jump start the motherboard by shorting the power buttons on the JFPT1. Same result - the motherboard LED goes on for 0.1 second, then off.
System:
- Noctua NH-U12S CPU fan
- 2x Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 3200MHz 16GB
- MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS motherboard
- WD Black SN750 1TB M.2 SSD
- AMD RYZEN 5 5600X 3,7 GHZ CPU
I'm starting to worry that I have somehow broken my motherboard, but I can't see how when I have properly grounded and disconnected everything from the power when just changing the GPU.
