Just swapped my case and power supply and went to go turn on my computer and nothing turns on, no lights, fans, beeps, nothing. What could of fried my motherboard? Or is it something connection?
#just swapped over to a new case and power supply and it won't turn on

Hopefully you just need to reseat the connections, but also make sure your mobo is on the little risers that keep it off the back plate of the case. That's a very easy mistake to make if you don't know to do it and will short the board.

All the standoffs are in, I checked all the connections to the motherboard, still no sign of life

Maybe try shorting the power pins to check for a faulty button?
amber creek
I tried that too, no luck
I also tried the power supply in a different case with a different CPU and motherboard and it worked just fine
keen girder
Strange, what case are you using?
amber creek
Cooler master masterbox pro 5
keen girder
So it's a standard power button, ok.
amber creek
Yes

I imagine the motherboard is at fault then, might have shorted during the swap
amber creek
I'm surprised it shorted, I was grounded wearing an esd strap, I was building on a Hardwood table on hardwood floors, so that's really surprising
keen girder
Try booting it outside of the case to check if it's an internal issue
amber creek
I tried that, on top of the motherboard box with two different power supplies
keen girder
It's most likely dead then, id check for burn marks and go from there
amber creek
I was looking for that or sodder joints that were broke but I couldn't find any, maybe it's under the motherboard power delivery sheild or something so that's why I couldn't see it
keen girder
Shorts aren't always visible though. Sometimes it'll be as simple as an smd component being faulty
amber creek
Dang, ok, would of it killed my ram, GPU, or CPU too?
keen girder
Possibly, not very likely to happen
