I need help with my custom built pc not turning on please.....
Ok, i'll keep this short and simple because I don't have much time atm. I built this computer about 4yrs ago and within the past 1yr I've gone through 3 power supplies, 2 OCZ (bleh) and lately, as of lastnight) the 3rd one which is an ULTRA X4 750W atx psu. It was working GREAT, I left my computer on lastnight because I watch movies on my ipod touch while in bed from it. When I woke up the computer was off and we had no storms. So right away I was sniffing away at the PSU (the last one burnt out, it stunk of sucky psu) but it doesn't smell. When I try to turn the pc on the LED lights flicker just a tiny bit once and you can barely see it. However, the keyboard stays light (the LED's in it) and the green light on the mobo stays lit. I tried seating the ram but it still didn't work. I don't remember the EXACT specs but I'll try to post what I remember below...
AMD quad-core black edition cpu
The mobo i think is ASUS and it was espensive, made for crossfire ATI
4gb ram
2 internal 500g HD's (1TB total + 500g external 1.5TB total)
onboard sound HD
and 2 ATI HD3800's (the 3800 series) crossfire
PSU - Ultra X4 750W atx
I really can't afford to go buy ANOTHER psu, the wife knows I'm stressed out now because... yea i play wow, big deal, but I'm also the CEO of a small gaming community... my work is computers. This is the first time I've ever posted for help. I was going to go buy a new PSU and have it work for 4months but maybe it'll break again. The only thing I dread doing is taking it out of the case and seating it on a table to test everything because with 2 HUGE ATI cards and HD's... there's not much room at all lol. The 1st computer I ever built back when Quake 2 was awesome ... it still runs to this day, no issues. My friends always use to ask how I built my PC's to make them last so long with no issues. Well friends, I have this horrible issue. If its the mobo I'll be so sad. Hope I didn't bore any of you and I truely appreciate any help, opinions and more. Thanks!!
