Make sure all your PSU cables are plugged in on either end

wicked mountain Jul 27, 2023, 7:51 PM

#

misty sparrow which channel?

Leave in the one closest to the CPU

misty sparrow Jul 27, 2023, 7:52 PM

#

wicked mountain Make sure all your PSU cables are plugged in on either end

it worked at first

#

i was even playing valo

#

but after grabbing a drink and i got back it was jus on like that while there was nth on my monitor

wicked mountain Jul 27, 2023, 7:53 PM

#

Reset the BIOS again with the cmos battery

misty sparrow Jul 27, 2023, 7:53 PM

#

#

most likely cant be lose connections right? since i was even using it for like 2-3h

#

before its in this current situation

misty sparrow Jul 27, 2023, 8:14 PM

#

night nova Jul 28, 2023, 12:14 AM

#

misty sparrow

Pretty sure this is motherboard broken

#

not 100%

#

but possibly

misty sparrow Jul 28, 2023, 4:36 AM

#

night nova not 100%

how do i test it out

#

how do i make sure its the mb which is not working?

#

before that happened, i was even still playing valorant

grim jasper Jul 28, 2023, 8:30 AM

#

test eveythign else liek ram on a different PC

#

I just think it could be soemthing else

night nova Jul 28, 2023, 10:13 AM

#

misty sparrow how do i test it out

Because it should stay turned on with fans spinning even without a cpu,gpu,ram

#

not do what it does

misty sparrow Jul 28, 2023, 10:15 AM

#

i went to the shop

#

its the psu lol

night nova Jul 28, 2023, 10:15 AM

#

OH yeah

#

Thats an option too

#

sounds right

#

Either PSU or MB

night nova Jul 28, 2023, 10:16 AM

#

misty sparrow its the psu lol

Atleast psu isn't too expensive haha

misty sparrow Jul 28, 2023, 10:16 AM

#

idk how it died tbh

#

shud i just get the same model? corsair cv550

night nova Jul 28, 2023, 10:16 AM

#

I figured motherboard got static electricity when you took it apart

#

yeah sure

#

or another 500-550

misty sparrow Jul 28, 2023, 10:17 AM

#

whats like the best option

night nova Jul 28, 2023, 10:17 AM

#

They have a rating

#

Like gold rated PSU

#

search for 550w gold

misty sparrow Jul 28, 2023, 10:18 AM

#

bronze is not that good?

night nova Jul 28, 2023, 10:18 AM

#

Bronze is fine but gold is more efficient because of better quality components inside

#

Which means it will also last longer

#

You could get either and not have problems

misty sparrow Jul 28, 2023, 10:20 AM

#

ill see what i can do about it

night nova Jul 28, 2023, 10:20 AM

#

good luck

misty sparrow Jul 28, 2023, 10:20 AM

#
