Hi,
here are the components ;
When I had a little spare time I swapped the old graphics card out for my RTX 3080ti and added a fan to the top of the case. The motherboard lit up but the computer wouldn't start (no fans spinning, no error codes, just flashing LEDs and the stock animation on the OLED screen on the mobo... I could sometimes hear a very quiet click from the PSU (1000W Dark Power from be Quiet!) when trying to turn the PC on...
So I took the graphics card out. Tried again with the same result. Unplugged the new fan and nothing changed.
I tried clearing the CMOS, resetting the RAM, removed and replaced the battery (just in case) to no avail.
I then noticed that there's a "Switch BIOS" button on the mobo which had an orange LED lit up above it so I thought that it couldn't hurt to try pushing it... I was wrong... The LEDs and animation on the mobo went off...
I noticed fairly quickly that nothing was working from the surge protector so I went downstairs to check the fuses and one was down so I pulled it back up and the surge protector and everything connected to it was working again - apart from the computer.
This isn't my first build. I've never had any trouble before. I've searched all over the internet and couldn't find anything that could help.
I should mention that I stress tested the CPU for about 30 minutes when it was working so I'm fairly sure that the CPU and air cooler aren't or weren't to blame.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
