I recently built my first PC, it worked fine for the first 3 weeks, but stopped working last week. When I press the power button, all the fans kick on and stay on, but it will not post. After I push the power button the VGA diode lights up and stays on
So far I have tried removing a stick of ram and trying both sticks in each slot, tried switching to different PCI-E slots with my GPU, tried using a different GPU that I know works (I believe it was an R9 290x) as well in each slot, and cleared the cmos, with no luck.
Is it possible that the PCI-E slots are fried? There was a power outage once, but the PC was off and plugged into a surge protector, so I don't think that could have caused much harm.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm still new to PC building so It is very possible I made a mistake somewhere
PC specs:
Gigabyte GA Gaming 3 Motherboard
Ryzen 5 1600x
Gigabyte GTX 1070 Windforce
16GB (2x8GB) Crucial Ballistix Ram
Western Digital 250GB SSD
Western Digital 1TB HDD
Windows 10 64bit
