Hi folks !
Here is what happened.
So, I was browsing the internet in the early morning and after some time, I shut the system. It shut down normally, no errors and weird sounds or anything. But, after that, it wouldn't turn on. No lights, no display, no fans. Nothing.
So, I called up my PC troubleshooting friend and he asked me to disconnect everything and short PSU's green and black pins and see if the PSU fan turns on but it doesn't. No response from it.
Then, I borrowed a working PSU from him and connected it to my motherboard and graphics card. All other components which needed power like HDD, etc all had the power cables removed with the data cable still connected ( I was in a hurry). And when I turned it on, it would all blink for a second ie., fans and leds on PSU, graphics card etc would turn on for like one second and then turn off its own. No beeps or anything.
My friend says the PSU might have fried the motherboard!
So, what do you guys think?
Is my mobo gone?
Here's my pc config BTW.
Intel i5 4440 + Gigabyte B85 D3H Motherboard
G.Skill Sniper DDR3 1600 mhz 4GB ram x2 nos
Seasonic G550RM 80 plus Gold PSU
WD 1TB HDD x2 nos
Asus geforce 1060 6GB graphics card (blower type fan originally but I removed it and added a high static pressure axial fan)
20W Delta high CFM, high RPM fan-1 nos +2 "normal" CM Fans and a Chinese Fan Controller.
