UPDATE: I fixed it!! It was the PSU.
So I just built my first PC in like 20 years. Everything was going fine, I was installing Windows and got to the network setup step and my wifi was having trouble staying connected. I figured it was because I hadn’t set up drivers yet, so I thought whatever, no problem, I’ll just move it by my router and plug in an ethernet cable.
So I powered off and moved it, and…dead. Nothing is happening when I hit the power button. No fans, no lights, nothing. I’ve made sure no cables got jiggled loose or anything. Maybe I shorted something somewhere on the motherboard? I can’t see anything without fully disassembling and having to rebuild it. I really don’t want to do that, but I guess I’ll have to unless I’m missing something obvious. I’ll test the PSU tomorrow but I doubt it’s that, these are all brand new parts.
Any ideas?
Specs:
AMD 7800X3D
ASRock B650E PG Riptide WiFi
Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 7800 XT
2 x 16GB Crucial DDR5 RAM
Seasonic GX-850 PSU
Since it was working earlier, the new outlet is the first thing to check (then recheck the pc at the old outlet). If neither work, check the cable. Then make sure the power supply didn’t get jostled loose in the move.
Won’t work at either outlet. I’ll try digging to see if I have another cable, but this one is brand new out of the box.
It’s weird because I was moving and flipping it every which way while building it, but picking it up straight and walking 5 steps from my table to my router is what killed it.
