    Again a nightmare with my PC.

    I just got a new PSU, Mobo, CPU cause it blew up, i got it for 2 weeks and AGAIN my PC shuts off and won't turn boot.

    I rooted it down to CPU, the PC does start for a split second and turns off and i hear a click coming from the PSU.
    Mobo leds are on like always so i think it's the CPU.

    First thing i tried is booting without ram, gpu's and same problem, so i'm almost sure it's the CPU.
    Also tried resetting cmos with no succes.

    Is there anything else i can try?

    That is strange, does you electric line is not stable/safe?
    Vulnerable to lighting electric discharge?
    I mean, what killed the last equipment?

    Last time it was PSU, it couldn't handle my system with OC.

    More likely the motherboard than the CPU if it shuts off. Bad CPU will give you a POST error or a black screen in most instances. Possible short somewhere, check all your standoffs and cables.

    So there is a chance nothing died?

    I really hope so, i really don't have the money to replace something.

    I'll be without a PC for a long time.:bang:

    I told you the first time to just get rid of everything that worked (except gpu's) and get something like H97+i5 4460.

    Is there anything you can try your CPU? Maybe friends?

    Breadboard the PC, try to measure the output of your PSU, let the board rest without CMOS for a few days etc. Funny thing is that I have a Gigabutt board here that did the same thing. Flashed a new BIOS which didn't help. Let it rest for about a week at our shop and started testing it a few hours ago (it isn't that busy due to the weather) and it works! If you need any help/parts just say it :)

    Remove the power cables, battery and see if the mobo have a CMOS RESET jumper.
    Change the jumper to RESET position, wait a minute and set the jumper to default position, put the battery back and cables.

    Yes. Take all the stuff out of the case and see if it works.

    Did you remove everything from the case and run it just by itself? Set it on top of a motherboard box or something.

    If it's the same with another PSU, I basically guarantee the new motherboard has failed. It happens. A bad CPU can't issue a shut down command.

    Could overclocking have caused it?

    Good stuff dude! So can you put in the second card at some time or is the PSU stopping you?
