Ok so my PC was working fine yesterday. Got to my office this morning and noticed through the glass that my motherboard's lights were off, tried powering the computer and it didn't work.
I tried:
So yea, I'm ready to replace either part but I wanted to know if someone knew more about this and would have troubleshoot ideas or knows whether the problem is the mobo or the psu?
Specs:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken x62
Motherboard: GIGABYTE X570 Aorus Master
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 64GB DDR4-3200 [16GB x 4]
PSU: Corsair HX Platinum 750 W80
Case: NZXT H700i ATX Mid Tower
SSD [Windows 10]: Samsung 970 Pro 1TB
HDD: Seagate BarraCuda Pro 4TB 3.5” 7200 RPM
I tried:
- Unplugging all cables on my PSU and motherboard and re-plugging.
- Paperclip test on the PSU which resulted in the fan running for maybe 3-5 seconds and then slowing down till full stop. I wasn't sure how to interpret that info as a pass or a fail.
- Tried to look for busted capacitor and didn't find any on the mobo. Noticed that some (of what looks like) capacitors inside the PSU have some sort of small black stain on them but it's hard to say whether its a normal marking or not.
- Tried different wall plugs.
