Fried system.

[jerrywen]

Hi Everyone,

I have been building PC from ground up for many years and yesterday I encounter one problem when helping a friend to set up a PC.

On first boot. It indicated that the CPU fan wasn't found but it was attached and working. I just ignore it as previous times I install a PC the same thing happen.

After that it just shut down. From this point on I was unable to do anything. There was only a green LED light on the MOB and that is all. No respond on the the fan or whatsoever that is installed.

So he actually hired a tech guy and this person say that the PSU and the Motherboard is no longer in working condition. First time this has happen(well to a newly build) and when it come to PSU, most probably all other component : graphic card, DVD drive, HDD, SDD are all fried as well.

So this guy proceed to use his PSU and the same thing happen. Nothing was boot up. We suspect the damage was already done.

Specs are as of bellow :

CPU & Mobo: i5-3550 + ASUS P8Z77-M PRO
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 8GB KIT 1600MHZ
Optical drive: HP 24X Multi format DVDRW
HDD: Seagate 2TB SATA3 7200RPM
SSD: Samsung 840 PRO 128GB SATA3
GPU: Powercolor 7970 V3
Case: Corsair 200R
PSU: Corsair TX750 - 750w

Will the whole fried system be able to RMA?

What could I do to prevent such things from happening again?

Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

I have read b4 Corsair use their own cash to get back an exact same system when their PSU got problem. Can give it a try contact Convergent or Corsair itself

Tried with basically everything. The motherboard has failed and PSU is the cause of it.

If they don't. Can just RMA everything?

I suspect two culprits, 1) your multi-socket power strip may be faulty, change to a different one to try 2) you may have shorted your motherboard to your chassis when you install it into the chassis. Take out the motherboard from the chassis & try.

200R they preinstall the MTB stand-off for ATX config

ur MTB is MATX, ur MTB is maybe fried because shorted by one of the stand-off

take out your MTB from the casing and try again

if still cannot try to RMA ur MTB

my opinion is nothing is fried because no smoke no spark and no pop sound

good luck
