Hey all,
My computer has been running fine for a little over a year now. All of a sudden it just shut off in the middle of playing a game. Now it will not turn on at all. Motherboard lights up but when I press the power button nothing. The PSU will make a clicking noise the first time but I cannot get it to turn on anything. I installed a brand new PSU just now and changed out all the cables and triple checked that everything is tight and correctly installed. Same thing, motherboard lights (not the diagnostic LEDs as those are not lighting up) are pulsing so I know power is getting to the motherboard but PSU only clicks when I hit the power switch and nothing, no fans or anything else. I am new to jump starting things but followed a guide to jump start my motherboard and it still would not start (I think I heard the PSU clicking as I tried to jump start the motherboard.) I have a Corsair water cooling heatsink for my CPU and was thinking about jumpstarting one of my PSUs connected to just the heatsink to make sure it is okay. Are there other steps I should be taking before just replacing the motherboard. Sorry about the long post, first time posting with an issue. Any and all help would be much appreciated.
