I just built a new pc with a 3080, Asus z590 and a intel i9 10900k, how ever when I turned it on there is nothing, some of the mobo lights turn on but nothing else, I’ve tried everything (switching ram, switching gpu, using a screw driver instead of a power switch, checking all the connections, and re seating the cpu, even tried resetting the CMOS) and still nothing. The only thing is the mobo lights, other than that the pc doesn’t turn on.
The only thing I can thing of would be my CPU is dead but idk
Does anyone know what could be the reason

what is the exact model of th e mobo again

muted panther

#

ok

muted panther
gaunt perch
#

so if you look at the top right of the board, is there a number/code there?

muted panther
#

Nope

old root
#

just to be clear this is a strix e right? even though i can literally see strix in the picture.

muted panther
#

The box says strix e

old root
#

so the issue is it doesnt turn on at all besides the rgb correct?

gaunt perch
#

so there's no number/code there at all?

old root
#

not even for a few seconds

kay so id start at the cords going from the psu, to the motherboard

gaunt perch
#

can you send a picture of the complete build?

old root
#

and make sure they are in all the way

#

because leds take fk all power to turn on

dim brook
# muted panther Just the rgb on the mobo

you didnt happen to check the cpu pins when you reseated the cpu? i've seen some lga boards not boot because of bad pins. error code wasnt showing and needed a buzzer to hear the error code beeps

muted panther

#

How would I know what a bass pin is?

dim brook
#

you would check the cpu socket

#

check it from many angles to see it fully because it can be hard to tell sometimes

#

maybe post pictures for us to check too

No the cpu cooler was on, it was a cooler master aio

oh and ummm... if there are a lot of bent pins, you likely will have to buy a new board. so unless that board was a an open box, im not sure you will get your money back. some people do the skeezy thing of sending it back to amazon if they bought it there and someone else gets screwed with it

can you take an overhead picture without flash

muted panther
#

Yea

gaunt perch
#

looks good to me

muted panther
#

It’s hard to tell on camera but the some of the ones on the bottom look bent

dim brook
#

hmmmmmm

#

socket looks fine so it may be a cpu power issue

#

hopefully you didnt use a 6+2pin gpu cable

muted panther
#

That’s my cpu power cable

dim brook
#

did you make sure to plug it into the psu?

muted panther
dim brook
#

some people mess up plugging in everything

muted panther
#

I made sure all the connections were secure

#

I tried re building the who thkng

#

Whole*

dim brook
#

maybe there is a grounding issue

#

that would usually mean the pc doesnt turn anything on

#

if your case had the motherboard mount stand off already installed, you might have one in the wrong position or an extra causing a short

muted panther
#

So would removing the motherboard from the case and trying to turn it on using a screwdriver, fix that

#

And then removing the stand-off

dim brook
#

just make sure all 9 screws are in the correct position and there isnt more than 9 stand offs

#

if you can screw in 9 screws then it's fine for that part. just make sure there isnt 10 or more stand offs

muted panther
#

Ok!

#

Also I was re looking at the socket, and the picture doesn’t do it justice, I think the last row might be bent becuase I looked at it closer and they looked diagonal

#

Is that normal? Or should they be straight up

#

id just test bench it outside of the case, find the box the motherboard came in, and put it all together ontop of that, make sure you touch a doornob or something first

muted panther
muted panther
#

Like the standoff isn’t spinning or anything but the screw just spins for ever

dim brook
muted panther
dim brook
muted panther
# dim brook did it not come out?

Nope, I even looked to see if the standoff was spinning with it, and the standoff was staying still but the screw just wasn’t coming out

dim brook
muted panther
#

But it wont tighter or loosen

dim brook
#

if the screw is spinning you should be able to just lift the board out assuming you unscrewed everything else

#

my guess is you used the wrong screw

old root
#

any update on if you got it outta the case or nah?

muted panther
gaunt perch
#

rip

muted panther
#

Any idea how I would get it out

#

Bc I’ve like tried every thing

#

😭

gaunt perch
#

brute force and pray you didn't damage the motherboard

muted panther
#

And I tried with a screwdriver

muted panther
#

Lmao

crude slate
muted panther
#

I’ve litterally tried everything

crude slate
#

at this point it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume a hardware fault

muted panther
muted panther
muted panther
#

I’ve just tried it again

#

It still doesn’t work

#

Outside of the box

#

I tried it with a 1660 super too

old root
#

sounds like the board shorted and is doa

muted panther
#

Here’s a vid of what I’m seeing

old root
#

I'd try a different psu if you have one handy, if not it sounds like the board.

muted panther
#

I used the psu in a different build where it worked perfectly

#

Took it out just for this build

old root
#

also you still need a cooler on it.. of any description..

muted panther
#

Oh I do?

#

Should I throw on a cooler and try again?

old root
#

I mean if did f all. so the cooler won't do anything but if it starts to work, you are gonna really quickly want it on there.

#

you have a 10900k right? remove the gpu, put 1 stick of ram I'm slot 4 and try again.

muted panther
#

Slot 4?

muted panther
old root
#

going from closest to cpu, to furthest

#

1 being closest.

muted panther
#

Ok I’ll let you know

#

But I’ve tried 3 different sets of RAM

old root
#

I am just trying to get it too put idc waht singular stick you use.

floral prawn
#

Have you reseated the cpu? EDIT: Oh yeah you did

old root
#

boot* not put

#

also yeah can reseat it yet again while it's out like thsi easily.

muted panther
#

Idk if this is relavent or not

#

But when I try to start the pc I hear a click in the psu

old root
#

sounds like the psu internal breaker is tripping because of a short.

#

are you sure you used a cpu cable on the cpu plug and not a pci/gpu?

muted panther
#

It says cpu

floral prawn
#

Or the PSU is bad, which is unlikely. Did you change all the cables with the new PSU?

muted panther
#

I used the same cables that I’ve used out of the box

old root
#

is it in the cpu slot on the psu?

floral prawn
muted panther
old root
#

what..?

muted panther
#

Look at the label

#

The cpu and pcie slots are the same

#

U plug them into the same place

old root
#

take all the plugs out and take a picture of all of the labels.

#

and send it right side up please lol.

floral prawn
#

Is that a seasonic PSU? That doesn’t look like seasonic cables

dim brook
#

@muted pantherare you plugging your power cable into a wall socket or a power strip? did you turn on the power strip and does the wall socket have a breaker switch that needs to be reset?

#

that video above doesnt even look like the board has any power, which tells me that yes either you have a short somewhere or your are not even power the power supply

#

or the psu is dead

#

even a dead motherboard should show something

#

it shouldnt matter but you could also plug in the second cpu power if you have one so it's 8 and 4

floral prawn
#

And you should never attempt to turn on a motherboard with a cpu without a cooler on the cpu

muted panther
#

But here

#

Lol

if that was true they wouldn't even have rgb my guy. it would have 0 power.

dim brook
#

but i didnt see any lights at all in the new video just looked at it again i thoguht i was looking at holographic shit but it was rgb

#

either the motherboard is defective or the psu is defective, but since there is at least rgb on the motherboard it must mean some power is going through the psu and motherboard...

#

im going to say the motherboard is probably defective because the psu wouldnt or shouldnt be running at all if it blew a fuse

#

@muted pantherwas it a new in box motherboard? i dont remember if you said already.

muted panther
#

But

#

I bought it january of 2021, but it’s just been sitting sealed in the box since

dim brook
#

and for the love of god, dont buy parts unless you're actually going to use them or can confirm they work so you can return them within the refund period

muted panther
dim brook
# muted panther That’s what I usually do but it was early 2021 when graphics cards were scarce a...

if we can't figure out the issue, you should be able to rma the board. it has a 3 year warranty and should still have at least like 8 months left by now. personally, i don't think i would throw any more money at a 10900k platform other than for rma. i would sell the 10900k and then buy a new cpu and motherboard and reuse the ddr4 ram.

right now the only things i can think are the issue are the motherboard is defective or the psu. the psu "should" be fine since it's feeding power and you can see the rgb on the board lighting up. i would test the psu in another system that isnt critical if lost if you can. i honestly wouldn't be surprised if newegg resold that board from another bundle that was returned and remarked it in their system as new. that is assuming it was a newegg shuffle bundle since i don't remember many other retailers doing gpu and motherboard bundles.

muted panther
#

So would u suggest going through with the warranty and see if I can get it replaced

dim brook
old root
#

well its either that or buy a new board but at that point just build a new pc..

floral prawn
#

You also attempted to turn on the pc without a cpu cooler multiple times it seems that could easily overheat and damage the cpu

#

So verifying the cpu still works is a good idea too

dim brook
#

can probably get a cheap cpu on ebay since nobody wants intel below 12k series

#

pentium gold 6400 is like $35

#

i3 10100 is around $60

#

the i3 would still allow for a decently usable system if the 10900k is dead

#

$100-150 for a 10600k

muted panther
#

Hey guys, a lil update it’s still not working

#

Lol

gaunt perch
#

anything new youve done

muted panther
#

I sent a rma to asus like it was suggested and it came back and the same problem is still happening

#

Asus said they tested it

#

So do you think it’s the cpu

gaunt perch
#

have you tested the power supply

muted panther
#

No I haven’t, should I?

gaunt perch
#

wait

#

the rgb still turns on right

floral prawn
#

You could have killed the cpu attempting to turn it on without a cooler

muted panther
muted panther
floral prawn
#

But an lga 1200 pentium from Amazon and test it with that

#

Then you can return it

muted panther
#

I’m gonna test the psu on a computer ik works real quick

gaunt perch
#

i would not do that

#

if faulty psu then it can end up killing your system

#

@muted panther

muted panther
#

Ok so I think I found the problem

muted panther
gaunt perch
#

thats good

muted panther
#

But I plugged the psu into a computer Ik works and the same issue happened where only the mother board lights turned on and nothing else it wouldn’t boot

gaunt perch
#

you think its the psu

muted panther
#

I think so

gaunt perch
#

can you test the other PSU (in the other system) on your new system

muted panther
#

Yea gomme a sex

#

Sec*

gaunt perch
#

@muted panther any news?

muted panther
#

Okay, it’s def the power supply

#

The pc booted

#

With a different power supple

gaunt perch
#

gotcha

#

well now we know, thats good

old root
#

good too know that dead psu still sends power for x reason..

#

whats thje wattage output of PSU?

#

850w 1000w etc?

#

Not sure you still have issue but sounds like you PSU is too small ref wattage output. In other words, not enough wattage from PSU to motherboard plus everything else. Also, majority ASUS mother boards have 2 (i think I remember them being two 9 pin connectors for power inputs. If so, make sure you install PSU to motherboard using both slots. Many people attempt to use just one. Often, it works but burried somewhere in Asus manual tells you mother board could overheat using just one. Your description almost exact to condition my Nephew had when he moved up from 2070 to 3080 GPU. He had 800w GPU, moved upto 1000w and booted right up. Tried to get them to do this when built system but they wanted to save a few bucks. I recommend using a 1200w though, No future issues and your not near max output ever. Ensure If your power connectors (metal contacts) are not pushing back into the collar of your connector housing when you connect to GPU or anything else. Remove power from wall then take something and LIGHTLY push on each metal connectors on your cabling to test if they push back inwards. If they do, repair, replace or align the single metal pin causing the fault. THis is delicate proceedure, use Pencil eraser but be careful not to bend or deform anything. Faulty pin is least likely issue. Last point, if have older video card. Swap it in and see if boots. If does the the beast GPU your attempting to use is pulling too much from rated PSU. (i go back to what said earlier, need bigger boat i mean PSU)
