Greetings,
I have a setup composed of an intel G4560, arctic 11 hsf, asus h110M-am12, crucial 4Gb ram CL17 packed into an Antec VSK2000-U3.
I've decided to upgrade it's ram by adding additional kingston 8GB CL17.
I've opened the case, tried to insert the ram but there was no room to do so, I've removed the hsf and inserted the ram, placed the hsf and booted the machine to bios.
in the bios I saw only the new ram and the cpu's temp sky-rocked.
I've assumed I misplaced the hsf so I've opened the case again, this time I've disconnected all and pulled out the mb, I've noticed the hsf was misplaced ans so did one of the rams, I've reseted the both, connected the atx and 24v and used a screwdriver to turn it on, now the cpu fan starts spining, it spins for a second and shutdowns, the led lights from the mb turn on and off in the same manner.
I've looked at the mb and found that the hsf was misplaced again. this time I've placed it properly.
again I've connected the bare minimal and turn it on. the behavior of above still persists.
I've tried without the cmos bat, without the ram, all fails.
the psu is very problematic when it comes to the a/c connection, as it doesn't have an power switch, every movement of the power cable results in crackling sound.
I've noticed that the psu's external A/C connectors smells like burnt.
I'm leaving the computer disconnected for a few hours and will try gain.
thing is, assuming it doesn't help, how can I figure out what is the issue? can it be that the psu got fried?
