2: System will initially spin up quickly (as if it's going to start up), then stop for a moment (as if it's turned off), then come back on, this time with an amber power indicator, 1-3-2 beep code, and the B-D light … I have them connected into the LED_C (RGB LED Strip Header) on the motherboard. Paperclip basically give you a continuity check only. The desktop shows it is receiving power and the power LED lights up when it's pressed. But this time, the building was going smooth, no problems whatsoever. The system was plugged into an isolation transformer (for safety reasons and stuff) that's limited to 4A. I've tested damn near everything (reseat CPU, breadboarding, reseat RAM, reseat GPU, reconnect power, etc) and nothing seems to work. This is where a power supply tester is invaluable. Because the fans are hooked up to the fan controller - you wont see the RPMs in the bios because there is nothing hooked up to the fan headers to get RPM data from.

No they aren't compatible with these fans those all use proprietary systems where the Coolermaster ones use the common RGB SMD5050 type standard. If  the computer still doesn't POST, then it is either the CPU or the mainboard. The lights on the switches didn't even light up. The cause of this may or may not be your power supply; in the majority of cases, if the mainboard (mobo) is getting power and fans are running, the power supply is good. You currently have javascript disabled. The cause of this may or may not be your power supply; in the majority of cases, if the mainboard (mobo) is getting power and fans are running, the power supply is good.

I'll apply a couple layers of plastidip onto the motherboard and see if it helps. dumb as it sounds I've had competent friends do this. Four amperes times 120 volts times one over the square root of two is about a 340 watt surge with your isolation transformer protecting the World. It must be one of those controllers such as ones from these premade plug and go solutions.

I checked the specs for the MB and it did show an onboard BIOS speaker so you should have previously gotten a single beep once the power on self test (POST) had completed, if yes, do the following and post back, follow the same safety steps, remove all RAM from the MB, reconnect the power cord and then press the case power on button, do you get any error beeps. Looks like it's not the PSU then and I'll have to tear down the loop after all.. Soooo after about 10 hours of probing around and tinkering I found the issue. 2. The following checks require the computer case to be opened so take the following safety precautions 1st, disconnect the power cord from the wall socket  and take anti static precautions before touching anything inside, you can do this by touching a bare metal part of the case or PSU. Removed the memory, connections to hard drives, PCI cards, video cards, etc. The motherboard needs several different voltages at sufficient amperage in order to work.

Water cooling parts are from EKWB. I'm guessing the short current peak as I turned on the power supply might have caused the safety circuit to break the current flow.Will try a normal outlet tomorrow. There's no on-board speaker so I don't know if anything's beeping. Time to get a cheap little speaker for the system warnings - maybe there is one in your case somewhere. Failing that, I'd try to scrounge up a system speaker. So...the most likely suspect is that the mainboard failed. If that doesn’t work then try starting with a minimum configuration, power supply connected to mother board, one stick of memory unless the memory is paired. What?!! Now try to boot. Can you elaborate? Exact same PSU, exact same hardware. A tester with an LED readout will do that. Press the power switch for 5 seconds (clears the capacitors). Edited by ranchhand_, 04 May 2019 - 01:55 PM. Did you try this, if yes, any error beeps. I assumed it was the PSU, went out got a new one, put it in, same result.
