Hi community forgive me for my first post beeing problem description and questions but i never had to Open a post before, I found everyhting in existing threads until now...
So I try to describe in short what happened. I built a new system with my psu and hdd beeing from old rig. With a friend who got a bit experience we plugged everyting in with manuals and lot of patience. Then we finally start pc, it seemed to run fine but no video was shown. I realized the GPU fans arent spinning so we turn everything off and decide to put it in the lower pci slot instead. Now comes the part where problems happened due to my brainafkness I unplugged 8 pin cpu because its cable was in the way, put the gpu in the slot and start pc without either cpu 8 pin nor pcie cables for gpu beeing plugged in...it started for a second or so with slowly running fans and turned off after that. Luckily no burnt smell. I still panicked and put the pcie cables in gpu while still forgetting about the cpu 8 pin, my friend reminded me just after i press on the power button. But at this point nothing happened at all no boot up.I put the 8 pin cpu in trying again to power on, nothing again just no reaction. The only thing showing there is power is a red led right at the 24 pin mainboardplug glowing .So I spent all workday googling and so and found that Most say psu or mainboard could be damaged...i suspect the psu as its old and I really hope its this part...
I will try the thread with the steps for post/boot problems when I am at home and wanted to us the time in train to write this. I will respond with more infos when I did this, anyone got an idea already what it could be?
Thanks in advance i am really angry on myself... I spent so much money and rushed the last steps only to potentially kill all the work
