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.
 
Parts list if needed:
i7 8700k
Asus Prime Z370-A
GTX 1080 ti
Corsair DDR4 16 gb of ram
Nzxt Kraken x62
650 watt power supply

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.
 
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?
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

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.

PSU is a 650 watt EVGA Gold and like it seems like it will power up and even with the onboard graphics it still won’t give anything on the monitor

I had exactly the same issue as you and turned out there was one bent pin which with a magnifying glass and pin managed to straighten. Straightened the pin and everything booted fine.CPU light will come on if all pins are not making contact with CPU. I would double check again, with a magnifying glass. Check the pattern carefully as they are hard to see.

I will take a look at that. Just the crash was really weird, I mean it was working great and then it just crashes.
 
You had one problem "crashing." Taking the CPU out, you may now have two issues. Have to get it to post first, then deal with the crashing.
But the issue was after it crashed I couldn’t get it to post again. Right after I tried restarting and it didn’t want to give video output
