Let me start by saying I am entirely new to Gaming PC's and as such may slip up a bit with the correct terminology or questions.
As the title suggests, this PC has been in storage for many months prior to me receiving it and it started first time when checked.
Sidenote: the PC was garage stored and in a fairly cool environment before being brought into a warm environment to test.
Now the PC will not start at all.
I assumed it may be the power supply so tested the pinouts with a multimeter and all appeared to be correct. The motherboard appears to have power available to it as the power button is illuminated, but on pressing this button the motherboard nor PSU kick into life.
I have since removed all components and laid them out flat. I only have the PSU connected to the MB and CPU, and the CPU fan connected to the MB.
I noticed when the cpu is disconnected, the MB tries to start but stops in <1s, contrast to the CPU connected which literally does nothing. (I understand this may prove nothing but included just for the facts)
I have checked that CPU is seated correctly and that there are no bents pins in the socket, all appear to be fine. I have applied new thermal paste to the CPU whilst in there.
Is there anymore checks I can try to narrow down the hardware which maybe causing my issue?
MB - MSI Z97 gaming 7
CPU - intel I7 4790k
PSU - cooler master G750M
GPU - evga gtx 970
I apologise if this comes across as a bit rudimentary, but like I say I'm very fresh to this. I will answer any questions you have to my best ability.
TIA and thanks for reading.
