Help badly needed: New PC wont power up after I powered it down.

16-07-2020 10:08pm#1Hi All,
You might remember that I built a new build a few weeks ago but was waiting to set it up.
Had tested the PC and it was working fine, I just didnt set it up as needed a desk.
Finally got a new desk and set it all up today and set it up and put on the drivers for the GPU and new monitor and peripherals, etc .
Everything was working fine and I played around with it and all was well.
Pwered it down and went for a walk but when I came back, it wont power up again,
Ive detached all the cables from the PSU and put them back in as well as removing the RAM and reinstalling and checking all connections.
No lights on the mothervboard at all and no beeps or noises of any sort
The only thing I can get is the Corsair AIO fans occassionally spin for a second or so but not the case fans. Ive no idea what to do.
From checking online, Im thinking a short? I cant really contact a component manufacturer as I dont know what component.
I dont have spares to try either.
All components are new.
If the AIO fans are spinning for a second intemittently, Im guess its not the PSU.
Ive no idea what to do and its wrecking my head.
Ive even went as far as changing the fuse in the plug and also testing it in different sockets. Same result.
So weird as it was working amazingly well until I powered it down and when i came home I decided I wanted to try a game but nothing happening at all
UPDATE When I press the cmos/button on the board the AIO fans spin for each press0

Yes, I did that as soon as I shut it down fully. Is that a bad thing?
Not necessarily. Its the kinda thing that I associate with my parents generation but its not bad.
That said, I had a mystery fault before that would go something like this:
1. Shut down
2. Reboot fine
3. Repeat as required
vs
1. Shut down
2. Remove AC
3. Reconnect AC
4. Power on....DEAD.
But, after about 15-24 hrs of AC being present the board would come back to life. IIRC the PSU was changed but it still showed the issue indicating it was the mobo. Much older unit but just in the off chance you've something similar leave it powered overnight and try again tomorrow.0 -

Wrong pins:
Thanks. Tried it and maybe the wire is too light but nothing happened.
Its the end from the motherboard I unplugged but nothing happened.
Do you think the fans would spin on the aio if it's the psu?
Wonder should I just return it to amazon as Its only a few months old but only used for a few minutes
Really appreciate your help0 -

Thanks very much for your help.
I think I did it correctly but nothing happened. I didn't have a paper clip so used some wire
Would the fans be getting power if the psu was not working?
The clear cmos button causes the aio fans to spin every time I press it :?
As ronivek has said that's upside down mate. Follow his pictures and you should get the fan to spin if the PSU is working.0 -

Some PSU's have an 'eco' switch/setting which disables the fan until there's a certain load/temp....so while the psu is on, it could look like its off if this switch is on
Thanks very much for your help.
I did it again this mornign and nothing happened but I thin Inviere might be right and I think the fan has a zero fan mode or soemthing.
Getting nothing from it but the PSU does seem to be sending something to the AIO fans.
Sickened if I have to strip it down and send off the parts.
It was working so well for the brief time I had it set up yesterday 0 -

I'm sorry to hear about your problem, and I hope you get it sorted quickly and painlessly under warranty.
But I cannot help but wonder if what happened was a manufacturing problem, or something that went wrong during the build, and how will they determine what the cause is, and if they will honour the warranty.
Just to play the devil's advocate: if the PSU damage was caused by a short-circuit of the motherboard/CPU/GPU/whatever, what happens with the replacement when you hook it up and turn it on?
Thanks Joypad,
I will definitely let you know how I get on.
Ive checked every single connection and wore anti static band, grounded myself, etc. Its just a bit of an anti climax and hopefully wont cost the earth to get it going.
MSI were very helpful and have asked the retailer to contact me and help me and they also contacted them on my behalf as well.
Retailer have sent an RMA so that's a start.Just to play the devil's advocate: if the PSU damage was caused by a short-circuit of the motherboard/CPU/GPU/whatever, what happens with the replacement when you hook it up and turn it on?
I guess I can only take one step at a time and hope that it fixes the issue and if I need to replace something else, then, unfortunately I will have to.
Fingers crossed that it will be sorted fairly painlessly.
