Background:
My computer has been built and operating smoothly for 6 months now. When I built it, I accidentally bent a few of the CPU pins, however I repositioned the bent ones to face the correct direction again (they are slightly off the grain, but work).
This problem:
It all started when I decided to format my hard drives after aquiring a virus that no anti-virus software I tried was able to remove. When I tried to reinstall Windows 7, the installation software, then later my BIOS, did not detect my primary drive. This was important because the primary drive is an SSD. I turned the computer back off, and tried refastening the cables for the SSD. When I rebooted, the computer turned off after a few seconds, then restarted and turned off once again. Ever since, my computer has not turned on at all. There is one green LED on the motherboard which does turn on whenever I have the power supply plugged in and switched to on.
As of now, I have disconnected all drives, and rotated/removed RAM. No combination seems to work, leading me to believe the issue has to do with either the motherboard, CPU, or power supply.
My specs are as follows:
Mobo: Asus P8z77-v LX
CPU: Intel i5 3750k
Memory: g.Skill ripjaws 1333 (2x2gb)
PSU: OCZ 750w 80+ bronze certified
Case: Antec Three-Hundred-One
GPU: Gigabyte AMD 7850
I'm done trying tonight, however I will check this tomorrow and try what you guys suggest. If I end up needing a new motherboard, I'd like to go with a different model, since I have read reviews since purchasing it that have given me traces of buyer's remorse.
Note: The computer does not turn on at all. It does not turn on for half a second and then shut off. It doesn't turn on in any way.
