[SOLVED] PC TURNS OFF AFTER CPU POWER IS PLUGGED IN

[SleepyFoxx]

Hello you smart pc people, I’ve had a build for 2 years now and decided I need an upgrade.
I changed out my motherboard due to my USB ports Melting into there sockets

I set everything up such as
Cpu: i5-7400
Gpu: gtx-1060
Psu: I don’t really know it was from my original build that I had bought premade
Ram: 2 Hp 4 gb stick of ddr4
Motherboard: gigabyte H310M A 2.0

My Pc will turn on when the cpu power is disconnected
When it is connected the fans spin and the psu led flashes before turning off

I’ve tried another psu but It is an older one from a dell build back in the windows xp days
Anyways it still did the same thing turning off within a few seconds

I replaced the motherboard with a new one just in case I accidentally broke it, yet it still does the same thing..

At this point it’s either the psu or cpu. And I don’t have the money to buy both so I came here to ask what to do first

I have taken out my cpu and powered it on but it powers back off 4 seconds later than the original 1/2 seconds

whats a bios update

There is a chip on the motherboard, in most basic terms its used to recognize and configure the hardware. If it hasn't been updated to the latest version it may not recognize the processor.

If you're not familiar with this I reccomend NOT buying a H110 board and instead getting a B250 based board.

will it still be vr ready

Any halfway decent computer is "VR ready". Your GPU is far more important for that.

 

[SleepyFoxx]

Technically yes but it may require a BIOS update to work, as thats a 6th gen motherboard.

You requested a mother board and i was going to buy it today, do you know what that mother board was?

Any B250 based motherboard I was suggesting. Whatever you can find as they aren't as common anymore.

So i ordered one Ill give you the link. I just want to make sure I dont have to update bios.
So i can cancel if need be, im still terrible with computers. LOL

Yes that will work, no BIOS updates needed.

 

[SleepyFoxx]

love you no homo, will tell you how it goes when i receive it

 

[SleepyFoxx]

Okay, so it came in. I plugged it up it turned ON AND WORKED but when i get to the login screen the screen goes black but the motherboard stays on? any suggestions?

What do you mean by login screen? Are you using a drive with Windows already installed on it?

 

[SleepyFoxx]

No, my harddrive has windows already installed, and all my games and such.

 

[SleepyFoxx]

I should note that my monitor has a power saving option which makes it turn off after no display is shown.

Yeah thats your problem. You're using a completely different motherboard and its not compatible with the installed hardware on the board. You need to reinstall Windows.

How? I cant reset my hard drive and i cant reinstall

You need to go to a functional computer and download the Windows Media Creation tool

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

Use a blank 8gb or larger USB thumb drive. Then boot from that and reinstall Windows on your hard drive.

okay so after a long day i came back into my room and tried to put my pc in a case which failed since the motherboard is so freaking huge, none the less i wanted to make sure i fixed my pc. i set it up out side on a cardboard box. I turn it on, the cpu light turns on then the ram light turns on, the rest of the vga and boot cable never come on and 10 seconds later the cpu light sparks and everything turns off, then it tried to turn on again. I took out all my ram and the light didnt move from ram same with the cpu i took it out and started it the light stayed on cpu and didnt move, i plugged everything back in and it does the same thing.

 

[Rogue Leader]

Plug in one stick of ram, and the hard drive and the monitor into the motherboard, and tell me if it boots up.

 

[SleepyFoxx]

I Did as you said. sadly it did not turn on instead the motherboard led flashed and turned off and tried to re-reboot, i personally believe i may have accidentally shocked a component after moving it into a case, i am now buying a case to fit this thing and am getting a replacement. Another sad thing, i can not replace my psu as terrible as it is i cant not afford another one

 

[Rogue Leader]

You may have done that but maybe try pulling the CMOS battery for a few minutes putting it back in, and trying again. Just for the heck of it.

Hey so i bought a new psu: evga 600 w Bronze.

anyways i replaced the mobo conclusion cpu is dead

so now I need to know if a i5-9400f will work with this motherboard once this is known my pc will be fixed finally: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E168131...7VaGNOw9MXFYbzlChl0aAuXmEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

if this mobo works with my selected cpu it should be the last question, if it works i will do one last update

7000 series CPU in a 300 series board= no go (unrelated to anything burning , however)

 

[SleepyFoxx]

No, my last mobo supported the i5-7400: after replacing every other part it Came down to the cpu, which I will buy a new board. So I can
