I have a mining rig that I have used seasonally for the last couple of years. I shut it off in the spring/summer months but turned it on in the fall/winter months to use as a heater. I have had no issues previously, but when I turned it on for the first time since spring, it won’t boot. A few things I’ve already tried that haven’t fixed it yet:
- Reseated the CPU and applied new thermal paste
- swapped and tested the RAM, power supply and GPU’s so I don’t believe those are the issue
- reset CMOS
Based on what I’ve done so far I think it may be something related to the motherboard, which is an Asus z270-p but I don’t believe anything appears to be damaged and when I turn the power switch on from the power supply yellow lights come on on the motherboard but CPU fan doesn’t kick in or nothing else happens.
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated thanks!
