PC Wont Start.

[Twizz97]

New to this site so sorry if this is the wrong category as i dont know what the main issue is. Last night I was playing with some friends and my screen just went black and the audio to my game became a huge jumble of buzzing noises. I shutdown my pc as i didnt really know what else to do. I turned it back on but it only remained on for 3 seconds and shut right back off. After that, the pc doesn't respond at all. When I discharge the psu and plug the power cable back in and press the pwr button the fans move a little bit(always happenes when i repeat this step). I have a Fatality gaming gear 550w psu ( purchased on black friday), asus 970 extreme 3 mobo, amd athlon II 3.0ghz processor, and a amd radeon 7900series gpu( also on black friday).Im not really tech savvy so sorry if i left anything important out. Thanks!

You could do any number of things it sounds like an issue with a component. I carefully inspect every component for any burns or shock issues. if not hardware you could try to flash the bios and make shore that it is up to date sometimes if a bios becomes corrupted it will bring the whole pc down with it

try a CMOS reset

How would I go about flashing the bios when the pc doesnt turn on? Ill also try the cmos tip. Thanks for the fast replies!

It depends If your ASUS motherboard Has that particular type of flash option usually look in the manual to see if you can flash the bios in this manner my ASUS saber tooth said it will however (crossing my fingers) i haven't had to do it yet

what is the exact model number of the Motherboard Ex:ASUS M5A97

 

[Twizz97]

Tried the cmos but to no avail the fans attempt to spin again but stop. Could it be my mobo. Ive had it for ,i believe, 3-4 years.

 

[Twizz97]

Where would i find the model number?

 

[h2tahoe]

On the box. if order online on the site you purchased it from order history.
finding it on the MOBO would depend any any # of factors

 

[Twizz97]

Yeah i dont have that info. My cousin ordered the parts on his acc and it looks like ive hit a wall till he answers my txts.

3-4 years old the motherboard may just have outlived its life. you could try calling asus in the morning they normally have pretty good customer support and long warrrenty on some of their parts
