Parts:
Intel i5 7400
ROG strix B250F gaming motherboard
Corsair ddr4 16gb 2400mhz RAM
Corsair carbide spec delta RGB chassis
Gigabyte gtx 1050 2gb GPU
Corsair VS650 PSU
I recently brought a pre built gaming PC and wanted to start upgrading it. I brought the graphics card listed above and the power supply at that same time and have been using them for about 5 months with no issues. I then brought the case about a month ago and again no issues with that on my old build. This weekend I finally brought a new CPU, motherboard and RAM as listed above. I set up all the components inside the chassis as per usual with no problems. All the necessary cables were plugged in. I followed the case and motherboard manuals instructions when it came to connecting the front I/o headers. Once this was all complete I connected the power supply and turned it on to test everything. Immediately after switching the power supply on, an amber light appeared on the motherboard above the front/Io connectors. I looked in the manual and online and nothing said why this is. (Note the RGB lights on the motherboard were also on.) I then attempted to turn on the pc using the chassis buttons but this did nothing. I looked online and tried to follow some tips. This led to me taking it all out the chassis and trying to run the motherboard externally. I set up the motherboard with the CPU and heatsink in with one stick of RAM. I then turned on the power supply and attempted to short start the motherboard. Nothing happened yet the amber light and RGB lights stayed active.
I'm in school working a minimum wage part time job so don't have the money to keep buying new parts. Was hoping someone who knows more about PC's could help. I've posted a thread on another forum site similar but they simply told me the parts I had don't exist and then stopped replying. I also contacted ASUS support but haven't heard back from them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
