So I've just set up my new system about 4 days ago and everything was working fantasticaly, no problems whatsoever.
Last night I'm sitting down watching some movies and I plug in my headphones and the computer just shuts off. dead.
After multiple attempts at turning it back on I popped her open to check if everything was not on fire.
my assumptions were this:
1: PSU - I figured the only part of the system that wasn't new was my 4-yr old 500W PSU and maybe that moving to a quadcore was too much for her, so I bought a new one; a 650W Antec and hooked that all up. Still no boot, so I figred maybe-
2: Case Connections - I took my case apart and made sure all of the connections were intact and that everything was looking good, still no boot, so I tried booting the computer manually (connecting the power tabs with a screwdriver, right?) and still nothing
and of course, it always comes up,
3: Motherboard - if it wasn't for the fact that my motherboard is getting power (the LED is workign fine), has absolutely no blown transistors or chips, and is only 4 days old (with perfect working order during those days) I would think it'd be the MB ...
I dunno I really hope someone can help me with this or throw some sugestions, my job and day-to-day life needs the use of my computer
