Title: Gigabyte GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5 Doesn't Boot Anymore!
Post by: Bozanimal on December 20, 2016, 06:42:13 pm

Greetings:

I've been using this computer since October 2015 without a problem. I haven't made any hardware changes, and used it just this morning. When I tried to power it on from Sleep at noon, the case gave me a PWR_LED steady on, the fans tried to spin for a split second, and the monitor gave a brief flicker of life like it was trying to send output, then nothing. No fans, not hard drive whirr, no motherboard lights; nothing. Just the case PWR_LED fan stays on. I'd hazard it's a power supply or the motherboard went bad, but I'm not sure what to do next. I've already filled out an RMA form with Gigabyte to get that process started.

I would start with the power supply. I have a brand PSU out of the box the same thing you are getting. Comes on for a spit second and off I had to unplug it to try it again.

It was the PSU. I swapped it for an old Thermaltake PSU and everything works fine.

Thanks!
