    Pc will not post

    Hello, I was gaming earlier this morning and in the midst of gaming my pc froze, tried the good ol’ ctrl+alt+del didn’t work so I just shut down, thought it was no big deal fairly new pc thought it would boot right back up, that didn’t happen. I tried booting back up and nothing on the screen. Pc starts, fans run, lights turn on, no beeping nothing like that. Tried clearing the cmos, also tried the onboard graphics still nothing. At this point I’m open to really any suggestions. Very confused.

    Is this a prefabricated system or one that you hand built?

    If a prefabricated system then suggest you contact them if there is still a warranty since some of the instructions we may give could void that.

          How old is the system?

          Is there any part of the Motherboard back touching?

          Re-seat everything

          What fans and lights?

          let the system stay off for a while then try booting it anything?

            If I may chime in while Russ is offline,

            What is the brand and model name or number of the power suppy.

            Do you get any onscreen message such a "No Signal.

            When you tried the onboard graphics port/s, did you remove the GTX 1080Ti card first.

            How many sticks of RAM do you have.

              Literally like 1-2 weeks old. I have LED’s on my case and a white light from my motherboard

                Upon starting I do not get “no signal”. Yes I removed the 1080 when trying the ports. And I tried removing 1 piece of ram then starting and then the other, no dofference

                  Now am getting red light next to CPU. I checked the pins and made sure it was connected to the board and it is.

                    That red light has something to do with the cpu, I’m just not sure I would be getting power like this if my cpu was dead.

                      Your CPU is incompatible, dead, or the motherboard is bad. That light remaining on means the CPU test failed, which either be, like I said, a bad/incompatible CPU or a bad board

                        Did you reapply the thermal goop?

                            I think it might be the motherboard because I didn’t smell any burning or anything like that

                              Can you answer this for us.

                              The red LED means that there is a problem with the CPU, the CPU has worked ok in the motherboard already which rules out incompatibility, both the CPU and MB were working but we know nothing about the quality of the PSU so it is important that we check if it is any good.
