Hello,

I am trying to figure out what’s wrong on my computer. I tried some basic solutions but didn’t work.

Things I’ve tried so far
  1. Tried with new power supply
  2. Removed BIOS battery
  3. Clean dust and motherboard and ram.
Asus Hero Max VIII Mobo
4 GB Ram * 2 ( corsair )
Corsair power supply cx650m
Deepcool cooler
Cougar Case

I’ve attached photos if helps!

current and before: https://ibb.co/RgMSWt9
When I bought new power supply: https://ibb.co/DfS0cS8 ( only for couple of hours and now it’s back to motherbaord start and reset lights only)

Edit: This is not a new build, I’ve used this before and it stopped working accidentally!

- PSU Fan is also not working!!

You can step through this guide for any obvious issues. Sounds like you may have had a power (surge/blackout) that damaged your rig. I would start by swapping the motherboard, at this point.

Assuming it was working previously, what changed just before this started happening? Any issues (like power outages or surges)?
Actually I used it like a year ago, I saw it turned off one day and didn’t bother to fix at that time, I usually don’t turn off, so i believe power outage can be a cause.

Hello,
I am trying to figure out what’s wrong on my computer. I tried some basic solutions but didn’t work. I built this system more than 3 years ago, It worked fine for more than 2 years and last year it stopped suddenly, not sure exact reason! Didn’t bother to fix at that time but I’m trying to figure out now.

Okay, Thank you so much for your help. I bought new motherboard, waiting for delivery.
