Hello guys,
I build up this machine 5 years ago;
Specs:
CPU: Intel i7 4790
Mobo: MSI Z97 Gaming 3
Ram: Kingston Hyperx Black 2x 8 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
GPU: MSI GTX 970
PSU: Xilence Xp1200
So my problem started after then I move a new house after than 3 years. My PC was in storage for 3 years. When I settled I plugged everything and It was working fine. just freezing and doing stupid things sometimes. So I decided to clean it and apply a new thermal paste. I did everything right I assume, After then I clean processor and fan I cleaned it well and used blow dryer for to be sure there are no liquid back(Alcohol). So when i plugged my comp it did not start. CPU fan was try to spin but system shut itself down and restart. So I plugged out everything and then when I connect it again. My PSU blow up and I heard smell of burnt cappacitor or something. So I did not force my system for further and I removed my PSU and went to the service to try that is my system works with another PSU. But the service did not have equal PSU to my motherboard. They had only used 400 Watt Casper(Turkish lowend brand) PSU which has only 4 pin(my mobo has 8 pin for PSU Power). We removed GPU, HDD & SDD and tried to power up. Nothing happened, just blue led flashed 4-5 times which is debug led.
So I wonder that is my mobo fried or should I get a new compatible PSU and try it again.
