So I upgraded my motherboard from an ASUS 970 AURA pro gaming to an Gigabyte Z270x extreme gaming with an i5-7600k and 16 GB ddr4 ram.
When everything got replaced and plugged in, I turned on the switch on my PSU and immediately noticed that there was no LED light on my motherboar turned on. I knew my PC was not gonna turn on and indeed it didn't...
I thought no LED light on motherboard? --> means no power on motherboard
I took my old motherboard (the asus 970) to plug in the 24 pin of the PSU to check if it was a PSU or a MOBO problem. The asus motherboard turned on, solid led light. So it must be the new Gigabyte z270 motherboard I got. Now when I wanted the replug the 24 pin in the z270 it, the switch on the PSU was still on (forgot to turn it of), and while plugging in I noticed the LED light and fans etc.. lit up/reacted. But not constantly (they were flickery), it repeatedly turned on and off (like there was a bad connection or not enough power) and this happend while the 24 pin wasn't completely plugged! in(I just hold it against it with my hand). But when I completely pushed it in so that is was locked by the plastic pin, --> again no power...at all
So when plugged in correctly -> no power, no led, no sign of life
When plugged in just a little by holding it with my hand ( and not locked) -> power and led reacts but it flickers so no constant power...
So I found it to be the motherboard being the problem, is this a common problem had anyone experienced something like this before? Is it a connection problem? Is it my PSU not having enough power? It's weird that when my 24 pin isn't completely plugged in my motherboard gets power, ( ofcourse not enough caus eveything turns on and off constantly) and when plugged in completely no power at all...
I wished to share this with you guys to have people's opinion on this, and know what I could do to check out better where exactly the problem is. Thanks for your time and responses!
