Motherboard won't start up.

[Jesse Yoo]

So I read that checklist and I performed everything, at this point I think my motherboard is just broken. I have a GA-Z77X-UD3H with i5 3570k and gtx 660 graphics card.

What happens is when i press the power button the case fans start to run but my heatsink (stock) won't and just stop. No error code but there will be a red flash from it. and in a couple seconds it'll start over again.

Any help?

you really need to look at how much power your system is drawing. the gfx card recommends 450 watt PSU and your CPU draws about 90 to 119.

you would need a 570 PSU.

Ah my PSU is only 500. Damnit such a easy fix. I already got amazon to send me a new motherboard tomorrow. So how big of a PSU should I buy then?

I've looked at other questions on Toms and they said that 500w should be more than enough for my graphics card
