Recently i attempted to build a render slave.

CPU: 2x Intel E5-2670
Mobo: GA-7PXSL1
PSU: Seasonic G650
SSD: Samsung EVO 250GB

I had it all up to the installation.
I even got to the desktop.

However, when i moved it to another location, i couldnt get it to load into windows.
It detects my SSD which is my boot drive.
But does not load the windows, saying something about media not detected and to check the cable.
Cables seem fine.

So i tried to tweak bios settings and stuffs to check see if the boot priority was right.

I then went to try and load my thumbdrive with the windows installation flashed on it.
There was a shutdown option after troubleshooting.
So i shut it down.

And now, my computer doesnt even start up anymore.

Can anyone guide me how to troubleshoot resolve this now?

Dun worry. If it worked previously, it should still work.

You mentioned you moved it.
Could be something unseated during moving.
I ever encounter when I moved my rig, the computer cannot boot up keep kpkb beep non stop. End up found my ram came loose lol

I suggest take out all cards, connectors and reseat them.

Also when u say doesn't boot up, any audible beeps? Does PSU fan even spin when power up? Any error msg shown?

Worse case scenario, boot only barebones (cpu+ram+ssd+mobo+PSU only) and see if u at least can boot it.

You plug in power cord and switch to on at the rear of the power supply unit?

Interesting. If LEDs on Mobo lights up and blink, you can check your mobo manual what sequence are they blinking, and what the sequence means.

This may give you a clue as to what is the issue.
