I was using my PC yesterday and it shut down all of sudden. Switched it on again and it shutdown a minute after windows was ready. Switched it on again and the LED lights (I've installed to add bling) are flashing. I cant enter the bios now. Using a Gigabyte X58-UD3R and i7 920. Or could it be the power supply (corsair hx620) ? :huh:
CPU/Mobo PC won't boot

^ still won't boot. But while I did it, I heard a ticking noise from the power supply and it's in sync with led's flashing on the motherboard.

Just checked, it's all of them. The led's in the fan, the lights i added like in your display pic and the led's on the motherboard.chiragsthakur said:
The clicking would be it arcing somewhere inside. It has a good chance of taking the rest of your hardware with it when it dies.
Check with different psu on the same system...

I do have one.. where do you stay in mumbai? Today evening I can be at vikhroli railway station , you may take my spare psu and then check your system
Strip down the mobo completly, just connect the power cable to mobo n the proc power to mobo, no ram nothing...see of the flea power led lights up...if blinking, either psu is faulty or mobo is goen,,, u will need a post pci card to diagnose. if the led lights up, u will hear 3 beeps, thats fine, shut down, clean ram n slots n insert....boot again...beeps shld not be there..if all fine, connect display n see message. If you have ATX SMPS can be checked by short circuit the green and black wires and power on. I will suggest you very simple way to check whether your SMPS working or not, you can check your SMPS without connecting to motherboard by simply plug the power cord and switch on, but make sure that you need to have the 12 volt supplied to SMPS...if fine, fan shld come up...but if ur not comfortable, dont do this test.
Rather than playing more with your system, I gave you an option to check it on my PSU... your decision bro... Try as UZIEL said above
You should be very clear in mentioning what all steps you have done bro.. What seems to be working fine?? Your system with new PSU or your old PSU itself?
well, if mobo is the culprit, much cant be done, just try to reseat proccy if u know how to do it...but a good know swappable psu would have put a seal on the mobo issue ... a definite call for mobo RMA....just can try one more thing...take the mobo out of cabinet to rule out grounding... n dont use cabinet power switch to power on mobo...short pwr+- jumper with a screw driver, the cpu fan should come up...check this.
Got the motherboard back from the service center. Checked the board over there and it booted properly. Came home, switched on the power supply and I heard loud pop (I think a capacitor got blown). And now I'm back to square one. The PC shuts down as soon as I switch it on.
