My PC recently had a fall (won't go into details) and when I then went to start it up, unsurprisingly, it wouldn't boot. The fans starts spinning, LEDs etc came on and it then died.
Once I got back from work I tried again with the PC showing no life except a fan LED flashing.
I unplugged RAM and tried resitting in different slots. Unplugged fan headers, GPU and still nothing.
I then had nothing except my CPU in, everything else was plugged in apart from the ATX 12v 8 pin and the CPU fan and it then flashed into life only to then suddenly die and go into a boot loop. I assumed this was due to the system not wanting to do to much as the cpu cooler wasn't plugged in. After plugging this in, same results. I then tried plugging in the 12v 8 pin and then it reverted back to the lonely LED fan flashing and nothing more.
I'm thinking this is a motherboard issue as the PSU seems to be working. Any thoughts?
Thanks
