The psu seems to work alone but when 24 pin is booked into mobo it doesn't work. I watched this guy on YouTube who did the same thing. His motherboard was not working however his cpu psu graphic wr working because the fans wr spinning. Nine ofmy components are doing so not even psu

PSU(power supply unit) is the same as power supply.

The motherboard is likely to be the problem. When you press the power button it triggers a change of state of other circuits in the motherboard, which can be where the problem lies.

I never thought about that, but it is possible, very rare probably, but still possible that the power button itself could be the problem. It is very little possibility, but still worth troubleshooting. You can use the multimeter to check the resistance(in ohms) between the 2 cables of the power button(PSW or PW), in 'pressed condition'. If it shows a value close to 0(e.g 0.1ohms), then the power button isn't the problem. Your other option is to use the power button of the GX-781 case. To do so find this connector in the case(see picture) and connect to the motherboard and then press the power button of the GX-781 case.

okay not sure but maybe the motherboard is dead. I hear a ***** after I pressed the button on my pc

Saliwarrior

I hear  a ti    t   when I power on the pc but no power

Saliwarrior

it sounds very faint

For the troubleshooting we did it points out to a problem with the motherboard.

Saliwarrior

I don't know which motherboard to buy. Looking at PC part picker none of the parts are compatible with M.2 SSD

ven98

Last thing you can try is too remove the RAM and try to boot without RAM.

Saliwarrior

I'll try thT but what does it mean the SATA will be disabled. Does it mean I won't be able to access the slot.https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/
Probably going to buy an antistatic wrist wrap to not fry this mobo.

What motherboard are you planning to purchase?

Saliwarrior

Asus - STRIX Z270H ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  

What else should I consider buying? Apart from thermal paste since I'll get that for free in Uni. Plus wr do I get a disk for the mobo. It doesn't say it comes with one

ven98

What disk do you mean? A disk with drivers?

Saliwarrior

Yes. For the asus vers

Saliwarrior

I have a lot of work and other information on my SSD. If possible I'd like to transfer that to mobo. I don't want to make unnecessary purchase such as windows for a new ssd

ven98

You don't need a disk with drivers, but usually every motherboard comes with one and it is not written in the specification. The motherboard is pretty much plug and play and you can update the firmware and drivers from the ASUS' website.

What do you mean by that?

Compatibility Notes

• 'The motherboard M.2 slot #2 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled.'

Found this when I added an m.2 storage.

You can take the SSD from the old motherboard and install it on the new one.

Before purchasing a new motherboard try turning this one on without RAM.

This motherboard has 6 SATA ports. That means if you install an SSD on one of the M.2 ports, that means one of these 6 SATA ports will be disabled.

Ok, sure I'll try that. But I forgot to mention in both cases. When I plugged in the PW and 24 pinonto mobo. I heard a faint tik without anything powering on. That's besides the clicking noise of the pc button. It came like 1 sec after
