Sooooooo...
Since my last PC issues, I've got a new Mobo and CPU too, everything is plugged in.
The PSU only makes a faint sound when I press the power button on the chassis.
The motherboard doesn’t show any life signs, and neither do the fans.
It seems there might be a PSU problem—because I disconnected it from the case and used the box it came in to check for shorts, but still got no response. Also, since the motherboard doesn’t have a power button on the board, I shorted the power pins.
I need some advice on how to test what’s wrong...
I saw something about a paper clip test, but I’m too lazy to try it right now.
Your motherboard is quite old, with some sites mentioning it dates back to 2012. If your motherboard and power supply unit are around 10 years old, then the motherboard would likely be nearing its expected lifespan. I've experienced motherboards lasting between 6 to 12 years, and the PSU as well, though this depends on factors like temperature and how often it's cycled.
