Question my pc wont not turn on at all

[james431]

hey all so back on 2022 december 25 , i was sitting on my chair , and my pc was just on without any problems , (i bought an power supply cooler master i believe im not sure 500w) , i went to my bed which is near pc laying down , and suddenly my pc turned off without any warnings, i was surprised of what happened after that i took off all my parts out , and turn on the pc without the case just the motherboard , the motherboard wont turn on at all
note : 5 days before the incident , i was taking out my cpu cuz there was a bent pins , the bent pins just made my ram doesnt work properly or not dual , just single
but anyway , i tried many many times but the pc wont turn on at all , even tho the lights are on the motherboard which is believe there was power going to the motherboard , but usually my motherboard lights would blink normally , this time motherboard lights are just stuck not blinking at all ... i tried many things but unfortunately it just wont turn on , so i came here so that i know this website are very helpful and there are people are really good and pro about hardwares and softwares , which is im pretty confident asking this here


so guys is there a way to fix this ? is my motherboard dead? what other solutions should i try? i want to take it to fix it but i came here to see if there is any solution so i can maybe try , and i was kinda worried if go and fix it , it will cost double of what i have , kind of in a budget here ... any way thank you all for the help , and thanks for advance for everyone

spec: motherboard z170 pro gaming
cpu : core i7 6700k
gpu : gtx 970 oc
ram : 16 gb ram (teamforce and patriot viper )
powersupply : (i reckon ) cooler master 500 w

hope fully i can find a fix for it

so guys is there a way to fix this ?

Yes.

is my motherboard dead?

Maybe. Read next answer.

what other solutions should i try?

Different PSU. Namely good quality, known to work PSU. Not the Cooler Master unit, which most likely is cheap and low quality as well. (CM doesn't sell good PSUs.)

That being said, look towards either Seasonic Focus/PRIME or Corsair RMi/RMx/HX/HXi/AX/AXi series. In 650W range.
Once you've tried with 2nd, good quality PSU and you still won't get any life out of your PC, then you can say quite sure that MoBo is toast (most likely killed by your cheap Cooler Master unit).

ram : 16 gb ram (teamforce and patriot viper )

Another option, albeit smaller success rate, is to use only one brand RAM at a time. Mixing RAM is bad idea.

 

[james431]

Yes.

thanks for the reply mate , well i got a cougar 500 watts power supply idk if this is good but atleast
tried it but still no luck , mother board is dead i reckon ? and can i try to fix it maybe i can bring to a pc pro or something , or its not worth it ?

 

[Aeacus]

well i got a cougar 500 watts power supply idk if this is good

Model of the Cougar unit is? Since depending which model it is, it can be either good, decent or bad.

mother board is dead i reckon ?

Yes, most likely. Since when PSU acts up, MoBo is usually 1st to go.

and can i try to fix it maybe i can bring to a pc pro or something , or its not worth it ?

Well, you can try, but the time, money and effort to repair busted MoBo (especially the one killed by PSU), is pointless. In the end, new MoBo would be (far) cheaper.

For example: if you bust a window and the glass panel shatters to pieces; would you collect all the pieces and try to glue it back together (thus fixing it) or would you buy a new pane of window glass?

u convinced me to buy a new mobo haha , but i want a cheap motherboard for the i7 6700k

 

[Aeacus]

but i want a cheap motherboard for the i7 6700k

At this point, going with new CPU-MoBo combo would be more cost effective. E.g:

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: Intel Core i3-13100 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor ($139.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus PRIME B760-PLUS D4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard ($122.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $262.98

Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

i7-6700K vs i3-13100 comparison: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-vs-Intel-Core-i3-13100/3502vsm2011672

You could shave ~40 bucks off from that of above, by going with ~20 bucks cheaper i3-13100F (which has no iGPU) and even cheaper MoBo which also supports DDR4 RAM.

u convinced me to buy a new mobo

you should still report the actual model of these Cooler Master and Cougar power supplies to us.

if it does happen to be one of their many lower quality units then you may just be setting up for another failure.

im sorry for the late reply mate , thank you , i would confisder buying those but i have to wait tho , anyway as in my country for i7 6700k motherboard its pretty much expensive , what i found which is i heard they are good and functional (atleast)
i found an esonic h110 motherboard for 6th gen i7 for like 52$
do you think its worth a try? i mean for the sake of time , cuz i will def buy a full gaming setup in the future , but i found this motherboard , is it worth a 2 years or 3 years life ? until i get a good gaming pc? thank you for ur response
im also a 3d artist so most of my work is 3d

Unknown MoBo brand, so 0 trust from me. Moreover, H110 chipset is as barebones as it gets. Also, it is very questionable if that no-name H110 chipset MoBo even has proper VRMs and power phases to power i7-6700K, which is best Skylake family CPU.

In my main build (Skylake, full specs in my sig), i'm running i5-6600K with MSI Z170A Gaming M5 MoBo.

is it worth a 2 years or 3 years life ?

I'd say: No.

Better look towards: Asus, AsRock, MSI, EVGA, Gigabyte.
Lesser brands would be: Biostar, ECS, Supermicro.

And you can use both the Intel 100-series chipset and 200-series chipset. These include: H110, B150, H170, Z170 + B250, H270 and Z270.

If you want to OC your CPU, you'll need either Z170 or Z270 chipset. B-series will do too, as do H170 and H270. H110 is too barebones for Core i7. H110 is better for i3-6100 or i5-6400. i5-6500 at most.

thank you for you reply brother , and also its good that u told me that well , just put it that way

thats i believe the mobo , if its not worth it at all which is u already know
than i will with what u mentioned , foor now

That MoBo (entire brand actually) is China's in-house brand, meant for China market. With it, there's 0 expectation for reliability. Especially how cheap it is.

Better use known brands, who actually care about their reputation and make quality products. Like the big 5 i listed before. Though, Supermicro is also good, but Supermicro mainly makes server MoBos and is a rare sight on consumer market. Similar how Flextronics is rare sight on consumer PSU market (e.g Corsair AXi), while being a staple in server market. Or how Delta Industrial and their fans are rare sight on consumer market, but on industrial market, makes one of the best (if not the best) fans out there.

thank you sir for this help, i believe i would just listen to you and go for that
last thing i ask from u , im kinda of worried if i buy a new mobo it wont be the same ? i mean maybe its a cpu or something ? even tho i tried it today many times and it didnt work , just my team force ram rgb turn on , but i tried to turn it on just no post at all , after a minute the rgb ram turned off , tried to remove cmos , still tried to remove cpu heatsink still , i have a little bit of bent pins but its really not visible much and they are fine as far as i know , but yea i tried everything , should i just go for it and buy it ? just to make sure generally u know cuz i dont think there is more suggestion and tips for that
best regard brother

Best option is what i said earlier, namely:

At this point, going with new CPU-MoBo combo would be more cost effective. E.g:

PCPartPicker Part List

Motherboard: Asus PRIME B760-PLUS D4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard ($122.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $262.98

Since with new CPU and MoBo, you don't have to guess which of the two might have died on you.

Also, did you try with 2nd, known to work and good quality PSU? Since if you didn't, you can't rule out PSU issue either.

All-in-all, when questionable quality PSU (like your Cooler Master unit) acts up, MoBo is usually 1st to die. Followed by GPU close behind. CPUs are robust and survive a lot, but they aren't invulnerable either.

even tho i tried it today many times and it didnt work , just my team force ram rgb turn on , but i tried to turn it on just no post at all , after a minute the rgb ram turned off , tried to remove cmos , still tried to remove cpu heatsink still , i have a little bit of bent pins but its really not visible much and they are fine as far as i know , but yea i tried everything , should i just go for it and buy it ?

You can pray and pamper it as much as you like, but it won't fix it magically. Component replacement is only "fix". That's the nature of electronics.

Moreover, it doesn't help that you have bent pins in CPU socket. Besides them removing dual-channel RAM for you, some more pins could've gotten bent (or bridging between each other), killing the proper connection between MoBo and CPU.
