New computer builder here.
Built a desktop following closely with Carey's Fall 2016 Gaming Computer Build video (great walkthrough by the way).
Specs:
ASUS Z-170A
Intel i5-6600k
Corsair 8gb DDR4 2666mhz
Corsair CX750 PSU
EVGA Geforce GTX 960
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Worked fantastic for a year almost exactly. Then one evening the computer restarted. Rebooted. Then died. The mobo power led stayed lit but would not turn on. No fans. No post. No anything.
I assumed power supply. Bought an EVGA 500W to troubleshoot. No change.
After checking each component, removing all peripherals, and just trying to get a boot I finally sent the mobo back on RMA. They swapped it. I installed the new one. Used the Corsair 750 power supply. Heard a pop on power up. And now same result. No boot.
Did I make a fatal mistake using the original PSU. Or could some other component be frying this mobo?
Extremely frustrating.
