Computer won't power on
Posted: Sun Aug 04, 2019 11:42 am
Last week I was playing Division 2 and after about 10 minutes my pc went black. I have a glass windowed case and can see that my fans were powered off and the only lights that were on was my RGB. I tried turning off the computer using the case power button and nothing happened. Same with the reset button. So I powered it off from the power supply. I went to turn it back on from the power supply and nothing would light up. All I saw was a faint red light from the memory stick (rgb) and it would go away.
So I pulled the power supply and tested using the paper clip method. The power supply fan came on and the fan was spinning indicating it was working. With that said it had no load.
So I bought a new motherboard, installed it, only for nothing to power on except the rgb lights.
I was then thinking it was the power supply and was going to swap it out with my older one. But before doing so this mow I took out 1 stick of ram and powered on the machine. This time the fans came on and a few seconds later I heard a pop near my video card and then a orange glow. That went out and the machine shut off.
Now I think I just lost my video card which was supposed to be handed down to Ethan for Xmas.
I'm also worried I damaged the motherboard.
Any suggestions on how to test. I have no spare video cards to try.
I wished I tried my spare power supply first before the motherboard
