no boot after upgrade

[Adj7588]

Hi all,

Im having major problems with my pc. While gaming yesterday it turned off with no warning. No big problem, go to reboot and nothing. Power switch does nothing. I disconnected the power cable for about 2 hours and tried again and nothing. When the power switch is pressed i hear a click from the psu and the gpu fans spin for a split second and another click from the psu and thats it. Open the case to find the PCIe slot that the GPU is in has split and not connecting to the GPU. Not sure if that is the problem but i go and buy a new MB and CPU. Had to buy a new CPU as socket 1155 MB's arent available anymore where i am.

So install the new gear check all the connections are good and the same thing happens again. Then abou 10 seconds after i pressed the power button and i hear the 2 clicks the system fires up and i have to do a windows repair. Do this and get into windows and its not recognising my second HDD and i hadnt plugged in my dvd drive so i power down and plug the rest in and now it wont turn on, just the two clicks from the PSU.

My next through is that its the PSU but as it was running i am not sure thats it.

Any thoughts?

Edit: It ran for a while. Got into windows and got lan driver working etc. Still wouldn't recognise second hdd so decided to power down and switch cables. Now it wont turn on again. Back to square one.

MB: ASRock Fatal1ty H170 Performance D3
CPU: i3 6100
PSU: Toughpower gold 750w
GPU: Asus GTx 970 strix
RAM: GSkils Ripjaws DDR3

Open the case to find the PCIe slot that the GPU is in has split and not connecting to the GPU.

That means the pcie slot is broken.

For the new PC ( i3 6100+ H170), 1) remove all the hardware, clear the CMOS by the jumper. 2) Check the PSU by the paper clip method http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=63991 3) Using onboard iGPU+ one stick RAM + cpu + the cpu cooler, try power up the PC. Like the bench it http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1753671/bench-troubleshooting.html If you can boot the PC, then add other hardware one by one back. If you can't boot the PC, either cpu, MB ( maybe RAM) has problem.
