Custom system won't boot (fans + pw led but nothing else)
System in question: Epsilon - Futurdreamzs Saved Part List - Ryzen 5 1500X 3.5GHz Quad-Core, Radeon R9 290 4GB TWIN FROZR, Core V1 Mini ITX Tower - PCPartPicker Canada
All components are new except the video card, HDD, and monitors
I built and had it up and running on Monday and had no issues until Wednesday, where I left it and came back to it being nonresponsive (power LED and all fans on at idle speeds, but no video). Holding the power button did not force shut down, so I had to use the PSU rocker. On Tueday I did upgrade my BIOS and manually overclocked my ram to 2400MHz because setting profile 1 on the BIOS wasn't sticking.
Whenever I start it, fans and power led turn on. HDD and the mobo's RGB lighting turn on for a split second then turn off (I have the RGB turned off, not sure if pulling the CMOS battery reset it) The monitors do not react at all to power cycling.
I've taken it completely apart and put it back together again (I didn't take the CPU or heatsink off though) and nothing work.
The only thing I can think of was that I did go back into the system to fix the power LED as the wires were reversed so it wasn't turning on, and when troubleshooting I found one of the CPU's 2x4 power plugs was loose. Did I fry my mobo or CPU? is there anything else I can check? I don't have any spare components so Saturday I'm going to bring it to Memory Express to see if they can figure out what's wrong, but if I can solve it myself that would be wonderful.
thanks.
