I just build a new computer yesterday and everything worked perfectly find but when i woke up this morning my computer won't start, no fans spinning no light, nothing happens? i took my psi out and tested it and that is not the problem, someone out there who would give me some tips on how to fix it.
Motherboard: MSI Z87 - G43
PSU: I5 4670K

hm have you tried takign the gprahcis card out and pluging into intagrated graphics

i just pulled the graphics card out and put my dvi cable into the integrated graphics in the motherboard but theres still no sign of life, no fans no light, no sound

Have you taken the 24 pin out and put it back in? If there is no connection between the green wire and one of the black wires the psu will not turn on. First take it off and then replace it, then if it is not working just tell me and I can give a better way to surefire test it.

I would check the psu. From my experences, the psu may be shot. But dont quote me.

 

[rjvitt]

I agree with ccky and am 95% sure that the psu is at fault. I had this happen to my first build and went through all the possible issues so I will most likely have something that will fix the issue.

 

[Andr9140]

still nothing happens, i just bought the psu brand new 2 days ago? i tried the trick with the paperclip to see if its working and it does, the psu is working so i don't know what to do. :/

Okay then the psu is working. So what you need to do is plug the 24 pin atx back into the board. Make sure the psu power switch is on and then try and boot up and see that the power is working. We know that this is a psu issue because there is no power so there is nothing else that could fail. Make sure that all of the 24 pin connectors are connected to the right slots. You may be thinking that I am assuming you are an idiot who can't plug in a cable correctly, but believe it or not this is one of the most common mistakes that I have seen made.

 

[Andr9140]

it is plugged in now the only and right way it can go, but still no sign of life, could it be the power button on my cage/case? if it is how can give signal to turn on the computer if the button isn't working

 

[rjvitt]

so my recommendation in this case is that you look at your case manual and read the exact instructions for plugging in the case led's and buttons. If they are not in the exact correct pins, they will not work so that could be the issue. The case manual will almost definitely have a diagram of how to plug these in. Tell me if this works and if not I still have a few more tricks up my sleeve.

 

[Andr9140]

its done like the manuals says, still nothing happens :/

 

[rjvitt]

Hmmmm.... you are really stumping me here! 😀 How long was the computer for working for last night? Also did you get the operating system installed already?

 

[Andr9140]

haha, i installed windows7 64 bit, and played games like civilization, counterstrike, minecraft etc. downloading avast and just normal stuff. before i was going to bed i opened steam and starting installing some games so i could play them next morning but when my computer wast turned on anymore, and i could not power it on??

(sorry for bad english, I'm from Denmark) 😀

 

[eldapeeze]

could the motherboard have been shot? (not literally shot, but dead)

 

[rjvitt]

Your English is actually really good! Would you happen to have an extra power supply laying around from an old computer? If so you could try it out!
