New build won't post

Board is a Biostar Z270GT6 and I get an 0A error code. This code isn't in the manual. Tried swapping out keyboard and video card and have taken out all the sticks of RAM, trying one at a time. I'm right now reseating the heatsink. New build, I'll admit I haven't built a PC in years so may be...

Won't turn on - Dead PSU or Motherboard?

Couldn't help but mess around with it some tonight (hate having something like this just sit because I can't help but just think about it). So, I took out my video card and the thing powered up just fine. Tried the other 2 PCIE slots just to make sure it wasn't a bad slot but that didn't...

Won't turn on - Dead PSU or Motherboard?

Thanks for the responses all. Sounds like this is something that will take some dedicated time to figure out and fix so will have to be pushed back until I'm completely done with the move. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something easy or simple to look into. And to answer a...

Won't turn on - Dead PSU or Motherboard?

Decided I'm going to get a new PSU and motherboard. If it's the PSU then I have a good motherboard that I'll have to eventually turn into a folding rig or something. And if it's the motherboard I have old i7 and i3 systems that are missing a few parts one of it being a PSU.

Won't turn on - Dead PSU or Motherboard?

That's good to know about the PSU, had been running a full water loop for years so booting up was never a quiet thing. UPS is 3ish years old and has other things plugged into it that are functioning just fine.

Won't turn on - Dead PSU or Motherboard?

Well I couldn't wait until morning so went and got a paperclip. The Result: I don't know... The PSU turns on, but it's nearly silent. The fan does spin, but I had to take the PSU completely out of my case to determine that it is in fact turning on, that's how quiet it is. Now, are...

Won't turn on - Dead PSU or Motherboard?

Was working fine yesterday, powered it off as we were getting bad storms here in Minnesota. Turned it on tonight, logged into Windows 10 and it turned itself off as I was away from the desk. Come back and it just won't turn on. PSU = Corsair HX850 that I've had for 5ish+ years (for the...

Laptop Overheating

Found a solution... Took the back panel off and it hasn't gotten higher then 55C - even while web browsing (which I still think is high for surfing reddit but it's much better then the 70s and 80s I was seeing).

Hard Drive dead or something else?

Alright, got my OS disk. So I pop the disc into the drive, go into the BIOS and change the boot order. Boot from the CD and then what?
