Chat I may be cooked 🥺

[jade arrow]

I was using my PC with spec's I can share if needed, when my monitor suddenly went black. I waitd a minute then went to check if all of the wires and ports were plugged in properly. They were. So then I tried to turn of the PC but when I pressed the power button it didn't turn off. Then after 3 minutes or so it randomly shut off. Now it wont turn back on!!!! I tried cleaning it for dust, tried checking most of the wires(if you have a specific one I should look at I will gladly look at it. I tried unplugging the PC for 2 hours then plugging it back in but it still wouldn't turn on!

Please anyone, if you have any ideas I would REALLY and I MEAN REALLY love to hear them!

Hi I am thinking a motherboard issue with what you are describing.

[jade arrow]

thats what I initially thought yes, but is there a way for me to bug test it?

[jade arrow]

😦

[jade arrow]

🥺

[stark crow]

Specs

1. What were you doing when it went black?
2. Did the fans change speed?

[jade arrow]

#1 Gamining
#2 I am not sure

[stark crow]

What specs

[jade arrow]

32Gb of ram, 1TB SSD, 13900K,7900xtx

[stark crow]

motherboard?

[jade arrow]

Z790

[stark crow]

That’s just the chipset. What model

[jade arrow]

gigabyte z790 ud ac

[stark crow]

Ig start by clearing the cmos on the motherboard

[jade arrow]

i prssed the reset button for 10 seconds before, but i am insanely worried about static electrocoty since i was on my knees with pants on, and the floor is carpet

is reseting enough or should i clear?

[stark crow]

What reset button

On the case?

[jade arrow]

on the motherboard

[jade arrow]

to the right of 22 on the dia

[stark crow]

clear the cmos

[jade arrow]

is it a button?

[stark crow]

no. you need to short the pins with a bit of metal

[jade arrow]

like an old rusty screw driver?

[stark crow]

A not rusty screwdriver would be better imo

[jade arrow]

lol ok

[jagged pawn]

13900k might be the problem

Is the cpu fried maybe?

[jade arrow]

I SURE HOPE NOT

PLEASE NO

COULD THAT POSIBLY BE IT???

[jagged pawn]

Bc of the 9th gen 13th and 14th Intel CPUs recent problems

Hopefully your cpu wasn't effected

[jade arrow]

😭 please no! How could I check if this is the problem?

[jagged pawn]

Affected*

[jade arrow]

I am really hoping so to

[jagged pawn]

Do you get any sing of life?

Ike rgb?

[jade arrow]

nothing

[jagged pawn]

Like*

Whats your psu?

[jade arrow]

no lights, no fans

1000W

[jagged pawn]

Did you turn the switch to on?

[jade arrow]

yes

it was always on

[jagged pawn]

Bronze?
Silver?
Gold?
Plat?

[jade arrow]

I think gold but I could be wrong

[jagged pawn]

Okay

Hmm

Either something's shorting out your pc, your mobo is fried or your psu is no longer alive

Or cpu

It's difficult

Do you have rgb in your pc?

[jade arrow]

yes

I mean if you read what I said before, the PC was on while the monitor was off

so I highly doubt its PSU

[jagged pawn]

Is your pc plugged directly into a wall?

Omg don't tell me you mixed matched your psu cables

That can cause the PSU to break

The pins might look the exact same, but in the inside of the PSU they're different

[jade arrow]

no, its a power strip. However I have tried every single port on it, and I've used other wires to check for power on those ports

I mean I havent changed anything on the PC for 2 years

[jagged pawn]

Try plugging directly into a wall

[jagged pawn]

I js installed new fans into mine last week

530W 80+ bronze going strong

9 fans

Rx 6700 xt

R9 5900x

Hmm

I think your psu might be fried

[jade arrow]

the one thing that is confusing me tho, is why did my monitor go off, then my PC went off like 3 minutes later after I held the power button for 10 seconds, and then 20 seconda later it turned off

[jade arrow]

most confusing ah messaging but hopefully you get the point

[jagged pawn]

Gpu

Might also be fried maybe

[jade arrow]

crap really?

then why wont the computer go on?

[jagged pawn]

Either something's shorting out or your psu is really fried

[jade arrow]

😢

[jade arrow]

does the pc need to be connected to power?

[stark crow]

it should not be connected to power

[jade arrow]

ok perfect

should i hold it for like 30 seconds?

Didnt work

i tried

😦

the question i think now is

what component broke

psu, cpu, gpu, or motherboard

and how much is it gonna cost me 😢

[stark crow]

Gonna have to test each one

[jade arrow]

What should i start with?

[stark crow]

First remove the gpu and use onboard graphics from the cpu

[bleak grove]

This can be true but fyi it’s like 99.9% likely that the static didn’t damage anything, at least kill anything

[jade arrow]

what should I do after that?

[stark crow]

Uhhh, motherboard and psu maybe

[bleak grove]

Plug the hdmi cable into the Mobo

[stark crow]

Or ram as a quick test

[bleak grove]

Take out the psu and try to do a paperclip test

[jade arrow]

whats that?

[bleak grove]

Google it

[jade arrow]

so…. The fan is supposed to spin right?…..

[jade arrow]

do you know if i did the test right?

[stark crow]

That’s almost certainly not right

[jade arrow]

why?

[stark crow]

Not the right pins

[jade arrow]

I only have the 24 pins connected

[jade arrow]

those are the ones on the youtube tutorials

what ones should it be?

[stark crow]

Oh maybe it is

[jade arrow]

idk your the professional

the fans didnt spin

[stark crow]

I mean I’ve never done that before. But I always thought it was diagonally, not side by side like that

[jade arrow]

so it it fixable or i gotta spend 150 on another on?

[jade arrow]

oh all the turtorials side horizontally

[stark crow]

Yeah

[stark crow]

It may not be your psu. No clue what it is

[jade arrow]

why wouldnt it be my psu?

since its not turning on

or slcould it be the cable!

[stark crow]

I really don’t know

[jade arrow]

Theorectically if my power ran out, how long could the psu maintain power to my pc before the rgp and fans turn off?

like isnt it kinda like a battery in some way?

like it holds some power?

[stark crow]

Microseconds

[stark crow]

No

[jade arrow]

oh :I

nvm i have no idea then

[stark crow]

The capacitors hold a small amount, but not near enough to power a pc

[jade arrow]

because my monitor went black like a minute before the pc turned off

i wonder if it broke down in a way?

like it initally broke so it wasnt giving power to the gpu

and then it brooe itself to the point where no power was given?

is that possible?

[stark crow]

Power supplies never partially break, afaik

[jade arrow]

Then its not the psu?

[stark crow]

I can’t say one way or another
