Hi,
So I have built a new PC. I will list the specs:
Intel Core i3 8100
Gigabyte z370p d3
1TB HDD
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2X4GB
Corsair VS550
The computer doesn't have an SSD or Graphics card.
So my RAM, the last part, arrived today and of course I was very excited because who doesn't get excited when they've completed their new PC. Anyway, when I tried to power it on, nothing happened. I have an RGB fan and I saw it flash for a moment but that's all. I thought it was the PSU, so I tried my brother's 600W PSU. Nothing changed. I decided to reseat the CPU, and to make matters worse, the stock Intel cooler wouldn't go back in. I know the stock Intel cooler can be bad. I noticed that the plastic push things were bent at the ends and were nearly broken off. I'm starting to think maybe the motherboard is dead or something. The thing is, I powered it on a few days ago with my brother's RAM in it(as my ram hadn't arrived yet) and everything worked fine. It booted into LInux Mint which I had installed on using my other computer. I used the Corsair VS550 from my older Dell computer(OEM PSU died) when I frst booted it up. I noticed that the day before, my Dell PC wouldn't power on ,so I think the VS550 is dead even though it's still in its 3 year guarantee.
Any help is appreciated.
Someone edited my post. Anyway, I think it is the motherboard and I am going to get it replaced. My brother tried it as well and he agreed. I used different PSUs and RAM and it still didn't work so it's likely the MotherBoard.
