Brehs I lost my PC today and have no idea wtf is wrong...

I shutdown last night normally and no issues whatsoever throughout the day...

Today I try to hit the power button like I normally do and nothing happens...All I get is a spin of the fans and nothing...It dont post, no beeping and no lights other than the power LED light which indicates power is going to the MB...

At first I thought it was the PSU since its not powering on right? I ran down to BB real quick and copped a new but no bueno, still the same issue...

Now I start removing parts one by one...Started with the GPU and all RAM except for one stick...I also tried every RAM slot on the board to rule that out and still the same issue, PC won't power on...At one point all I had left was the CPU and MB plugged in...

So basically I narrowed it down to a shorted MB or bad CPU...I'm thinking its the MB though because the chip has no signs of wear and tear on it...but I don't know brehs, I don't want to keep ordering parts without knowing what the issue is...shyt is frustrating...

Anyone got any ideas?

Sounds like the Motherboard

probably the mobo. I think it's pretty rare for a cpu to just die

I feel for you breh. That shyt's rough

Hopefully you get it resolved soon. But yeah, I guess it's probably the mobo

As if things couldn't get any worse I just noticed four CPU socket pins on the MB are bent...

I have no idea how that happened cuz I was very careful installing the CPU and the machine was functioning perfectly fine since last March when I put it together...

Not sure if i should even bother calling it in...Good luck explaining that to ASUS ...There goes the warranty and any chance I had for an RMA...

Are you sure nobody opened your shyt and started playing around with it?

4 Bent Pins sounds terrible, can't imagine it running a year without problems with 4 bent pins.

I am sure you have cleared the CMOS battery and tried reseting the bios with a jumper...

Nope I just pulled the CMOS battery for 10 minutes with no power cords connected...

Right now I hope its just the board and nothing else got fukked up...

I got a replacement coming from amazon on Wednesday...

Got about $250 for my GTX 780 on eBay. Probably wasn't worth selling for the bump up the 980 gives.
