PC clicks and doesn't boot up

[Davidss99]

I recently purchased a gtx 1080 ftw and the phanteks evolve atx tempered glass case to upgrade my computer, i was using a gtx 970 and a nzxt phantom 410 case. I moved everything to the new case and made sure all the cables were plugged in tightly and safely, the two 6+2 from the psu are plugged into the gpu, the cpu power cable is plugged in at the top of the motherboard, the 20+4 power cable is also plugged in, all the fans and my ssd is plugged in. So everything is plugged in and i turn on the psu and press the power button on the case, i hear a clicking sound, and then nothing happens, i press it again, and the clicking sound isn't there anymore but nothing happens either, i turn on and off the psu and then turn it on and it clicks, turn it on again and nothing.

Cooler master v750 gold 80+

500gb samsung evo ssd (i dont use a hard drive)

any possibility that your power supply is broken?

were all the parts new?

I don't think so, because when i turn it on, the motherboard LEDs turn on aswell. No, the only parts that are new are the gpu and case, all the other parts were just moved from case to case. Also, I don't know if it helps but there is a red led on the pwr_sw in the bottom of the motherboard.

that doesn't mean anything until the computer actually posts

what is its brand and model?

as for the led anything else by it besides the power_sw?

It's the cooler master v750, apart from the led, nothing turns on, not even the pump and fans or gpu.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Davidss99 : "None of my pc parts start."

Nothing in my computer is turning on, i switched case and gpu from the gtx 970 to the 1080, from the phantom 410 to the phanteks evolve atx tempered glass, the other parts are the same. When i turn on the psu and press the power button, i just hear a click and then nothing actually starts, my punp doesn't start, my fans aren't working, my gpu, basically nothing. The 4+4 is in the cpu power, the 20+4 is in the right spot and is clearly put in tightly, the two 6+2 cables are on the gpu.
The pump is connected to a chassis fan, the rad fans are connected to the cpu_opt, a cable coming from the hub at the back of the case that says connect to cpu_fan is connected to cpu_fan. My ssd is connected to a sata cable to the psu and motherboard.

Did you check to see/make sure the power supply switch is turned on?
(Not all power supplies have a power switch but if it does make sure that is on.

yeah, im sure it's on, even the leds on the motherboard are on, but then when i power on, i just hear a click and then nothing happens.

After checking PSU switch (and serriously check your power cable as well, have seen models where 90% in = no start); then reseat your ram and GPU to make sure they did not come loose from the parts move.

did you use standoffs when fitting the motherboard into the new case ? or did you screw it directly to the case .. i am assuming you have used standoffs if you are comfortable fitting a water cooled pc but thought it might be worth asking

Did you double check your PC Power button connections to motherboard?

do you mean like for the liquid cooler? i used the 4 standoffs and then put in the liquid cooler, then put the the screws on the liquid cooler to secure it in place. But yeah, i just screwed in the motherboard to the case.

 

[boosted1g]

So all the soldered joints on the back of the mothebroard are literally touching the metal on the case?
There should have been little standoff screws to elevate the motherboard 1/2 an inch from the case metal.

If that is the case then you will frankly be very lucky if you did not fry your motherboard.

you're going to have to remove your motherboard and then use standoffs to secure the motherboard to the case . like the above poster has said already.. you may have fried your motherboard. you may get lucky though.. i have done it myself when rushing ! fingers crossed for you.. it is just shorting and not totally screwed! i couldn't see any raised screw holes in your pictures or in google images of your case .. but some cases do have rises/standoffs already in the case .. little raised bumps where the motherboard is screwed into . let us know if this solves the problem or not please .

In the Phanteks Evolve ATX Tempered Glass case, the standoffs come preinstalled so i just put the motherboard on top of the standoffs and screwed it in.

do you have extra cpu or motherboard or power supply to change and see?
one of those must be bad. if ram is bad fans should still be spinning.
My money is on the power supply.

Might just be that the gpu isn't in place correctly, also, it might also be the ram aren't in the correct sockets. Because it's weird that the parts were working fine and then i switched to this case, everything looks good and it doesn't work, I didn't even move the cpu from the socket, i just took out the liquid cooler, changed the paste and put it back in. But it's probably the psu, i'll try plugging it into the wall, and see what happens, might also be the power adapter.

 

[Davidss99]

Alright, so i changed the psu and the computer still wouldnt work, i changed the graphics card back to my 970 and everything works fine, i use 1 pcie 6+2 on my strix 970 and i use two 6+2 on my 1080. Also, it's only hooked up to a power outlet, noo monitor or peripherals.

 

[Darthutos]

so basically the only variable is the 1080 graphic card.
I think that card is bad (particularly one of those power connector on the board).
You have already changed psu and both of them result in the same thing.

please rma the 1080.
