OK. After testing it with a working PSU gave the same results I began playing around with it a bit more and found that the computer will power up if I first jump ATX connector and then plug it into the mobo. This is the only way I could get the PC to start so I have no clue what is to blame here.
I can hotwire the PSU fine, but when it is connected to the mobo, nothing turns on. The lights and fans don't even come on at all. Could this be a bad motherboard?
I tried most of the stuff there. Already reseated the cpu, reset the cmos, cleaned the dust etc. The PC itself doesn't even power on for a bit. If the PSU is at fault, it would be a whole lot easier to replace it instead of doing a barebones test.
My custom PC just decided to not turn on today. There is no sign of power on the system. I tried resetting the cmos and jumping the power switch, but neither worked. I am led to believe the PSU is at fault but I am able to jump start it (ocz 850). Is there anything else I can do before I rip...
