Motherboard or power supply problem? Repair or buy new?

Yesterday computer just shut down without warning. Like someone suddenly removed power cord or switched of mains switch.
Happened same thing 2 times consecutive days. And now today computer not starting. No beep sound. No fan spinning. Nothing.
I am unable to find the culprit.
I think it is motherboard. As it is always giving problems for me. Gigabyte B250m d3h.

But I never had issue with power supply. Seasonic S12ii 520 watts.
I have seen very high-high power usage when computer starts.
Then consumption is very low after that. Power Consumption rise up again when started browser or any other apps. But after opening, consumption changes to very low. (Situation before computer was working).

Now, when I press power button, motherboard's in built LED (near ports) quickly turns on and off, 1 time, computer does not start. When I again try to power on, no LEDturns on and off, computer does not power on, nothing happens.

So any suggestions?
Please provide all alternative to b250m d3h with purchase links. (I'm not extending or adding anything to my existing configuration).
I don't want to spend more than 5k-10k for new motherboard.

Not in warranty, so where I can repair this motherboard in Mumbai?
Gigabyte service centre repair out of warranty products?
Or should i try local repairs.

Update :
I checked power supply. (green and black wire). It's working, fan is spinning.
I don't have working multimeter with me. So I can't check rail voltages 12v 24v. I will do that tomorrow.

Do the usual stuffs like remove, clean and remount ram and ram slot.
Clear Cmos settings by removing and remounting the battery.
Run the system with minimal things attached / without graphic card and try open bench method
Try with a different PSU.

Ram cleaning was not needed. As computer turnd off like power cut, loadshedding. But still did the same.
Cleared CMOS.
Tried running computer with motherboard, CPU, ram and power supply.
Even tried without ram. No continuous beep sound. Nothing.
No beep sound. No fan spinning. Nothing.
Actually I don't have spare PSU. So I will pass this. But I will check PSU voltage using multimeter and will let you know.

I faced same problem with my System few months back in Summer

GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 6.0)
Phenom II X4 810
32gb DDR3 Ram ( 8gb x 4 )
GT-710 2gb DDR5
2 HDDs
2 SSDs
CORSAIR CV650

I occasionally getting Continuous Beeping, Sudden system Hang.
So I removed & Cleaned GPU / RAM sticks & even the CPU, but the problem never gone permanently, then one day suddenly there was no booting / POST, though the PSU & GPU fans were working, somehow there was utter silence, After Sometime it suddenly started working but the PC operation became extremely slow.
one day after days work ( preparing a YouTube promo video) I shutdown the pc after rendering, when I tried to turn on the PC by evening it again kept absolute silent, Tried some more time and suddenly the Mobo caught fire and there was smoke everywhere. Later I find the fire caught near the North bridge Heat Sink.

Actually Northbridge was getting extremely hot through out which I couldn't find out then, My Wall Power Socket & Wiring was the main culprit, at the same time it just ruined my Printers Power adapter

and one thing more as the system became extremely sluggish I tried to overclock the CPU within this period with AMD Overdrive Utility on Cooler Master Hyper H410R
(RR-H410-20PK-R1) 120mm
and i had corsair vs450 before which I thought may be the culprit so I installed CV650

& right now I'm searching for a am3+ mobo that can house my 4 8gb ram sticks & Phenom CPU

In my case, system not even starting.
Continuous beeps is for the fan failure.
In my case motherboard giving this continuous beeps but all fans were spinning. It was false alarm. I was suggested to update bios by forum friends. But beeps never stopped. I manual turned them off.
I think problem started after purchase of this gigabyte motherboard.
This motherboard damaged zotac 1060 amp edition GPU after 1st year. It was replaced earlier as it is within warranty.
It is ridiculous that laptops lasts long without maintenance (including cleaning) compared to desktop (at least in my house). I changed 3 motherboards (2 Asus, 1 gigabyte) earlier back in 2010, for Intel D820 CPU. And I have old laptop Dell Pentium d530 which is still working without any maintenance.

I've faced them all but one after another

& In my case My previous gpu gt-610 got damaged also

In my case I find out later it is a common problem for this Gigabyte Mother board series ( Over Heating north bridge )
if it is possible take the system to service centre check mobo and other components as well
and may be you could call electrician to check your power outlets and lines as well as earthing conditions.

I need some suggestion for buying new motherboard, anyone?

Before buying, confirm if the problem actually is with the motherboard.
If you can't find it in local stores or any popular online store, give this one a call and confirm before placing the order.

How do I confirm?
I tried the above methods. One by 9ne component removed and checked computer.
Also checked power supply voltages with new multimeter.
Anything else should i consider.
Authorised service center (lamington road Mumbai) told they don't do repairing of b250m d3h.
Please suggest lga1151 and i5 7500 CPU compatible and available motherboards in India.
Other than gigabyte ga b250m d3h.

Since you're sure about that your PSU is good, I don't think not a lot you can do now to confirm other than taking the whole PC to the nearest computer shop and check.

The link I posted above have H110 and B250 chipset boards. Both are compatible with the CPU you have.

Is there any Am3+ Mobo with 4 x 8gb memory support available in India? if not AMD then any intel board with 4 x 8gb memory support would be good.

Link shows only 3 models.
There are many available in lamington road.
I am confused which one to buy.

Actually no bios problem as it seems.
I don't have tools + bios recovery feature or any bios adapter or any bios specific USB.
Seems component damaged when physical inspected. Don't know how.

I have seen MSI h110, h170 motherboard have built in LEDs which provides over voltage and other diagnosis info. Like high end ones.

I'm confused, which one to purchase.
H110, H170, B150, B250 and from which brand?

Cabinet - Antec Mid Tower ATX GX200 Blue PCI Window
CPU - Intel Core i5 7500 3.4GHz
Case Fans - Cooler Master MasterFan Pro 120mm Air Flow Fan + 2 with cabinet.
GPU - ZOTAC GeForce

GTX 1060 6GB AMP! Edition (ZT-P10600B-10M)
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB (ST1000DM010)
SSD - Support needed for future.
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM SKU CMK8GX4M1A2400C16R 16-16-16-39
+ 8GB RAM in near future = total 16gb max
Monitor - LG 22MP68VQ-P LED Monitor
PSU - Seasonic S12II 520 Bronze (SS-520GB Active PFC F3)
Optical Drive - Asus DRW-24D5MT DVD Burner Internal Optical Drive

Damaged Motherboard - Gigabyte B250M-D3H Motherboard

What will be warranty for the motherboard? Is it from the date of purchase or the manufacturer date?
Because I will purchase new motherboard but with old chipset. So this 3 years warranty will be applied or not?

I don't know about AM3+, if I come to know of any board new/used I will let you know.
But any Intel, there are plenty available.

I hope you are not looking for "any" Intel board.

That's a bummer.
If there are any features you need, look for them among the choice you have. You don't have a lot of choice, do you? Then decide.

If not AM3+, atleast A Mother-Board that supports 4 x 8 gb DDR3 memory.

Yes it's sad that I'm unable to get motherboard working for more than 3 years.
I will visit market and let you all know available motherboards and prices. And after that help me decide.

Hey! You can't get a motherboard just because it supports 4 x 8GB DDR3 and pair it with your other components. You should get a compatible motherboard. What's your system configuration, esp. the processor you have? Without knowing that, can't suggest "a" board for you.

Please reply asap
Only gigabyte h110m h available at ₹5k-7k
And gigabyte h310m h support i5 7500 ₹6k

All other b250 are for mining.
Please suggest

h110 will be fine for your i5 7500.

h310 will only support 8th and 9th gen cpus-not compatible with 7th gen.

But all stores from lamington road Mumbai says this will works. Gigabyte H310m H.
Bring your i5 7500 and ram, will give you demo.

no dont do it-they have no idea what they are talking about.They will ruin your cpu and claim that it was faulty.

I think this is the one.

none of the h3xx series motherboards support 7th gen intel cpus-your dealer is either misinformed or is deliberately misleading you.

I checked and showed them too.
One store person told me it's marketing strategy from manufacturer. 6, 7, 8, 9 generations works on this motherboard. And showed me cabinet which is being installed with h310m h.
But only primeabgb store said h110 supported and no other. I didn't asked for h310. As I first checked that store and then all other.

And sorry it was a mistake it's 2 capacitor damaged.
Multilayer ceramic capacitor.
I will search for the size and let you if I can replace on my own. As no service center is repairing it. Or will try local one.

Update:
I edited the post.

Non polarized capacitor.
Same dimensions size required.

Okay.
I purchased Gigabyte H110M-H from primeabgb.
After that I asked them to check motherboard working.
Motherboard was not able to work with i5 7500 and 8gb 2400mhz ram. I got refund immediately.
Primeabgb Technician said that your Processor is not working.
He checked processor and ram with asrock b250m pro, gigabyte h100vdh and one other gigabyte board. All motherboards are in working condition. But cpu temperature does not increase and cpu not working.

Any way to check if cpu i5 7500 working or not?
So how do I proceed further?

are you sure that the cpu didn't sustain any damage with the motherboard when your pc shut down unexpectedly? If the cpu failed to work on 3 mobos consecutively,you can assume that its non-functional.

TigerKing said:

That is one way to check, and it confirms that CPU isn't working.
If it's not in warranty, not a lot you can do. Any way check with Intel, let's hear what they say.

there's no other way and primeabgb technician has already done this. BTW, did he use different ram module on all of these motherboards or only the 8gb 2400mhz module ... but processor not heating up indicates the processor is gone for sure.

I carried CPU and RAM with me for checking new motherboard.
(Intel i5 7500 Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM SKU CMK8GX4M1A2400C16R)
Also for checking old motherboard if it's working or repairable. But after checking with new motherboard I didn't searched for motherboard repair shop.
Primeabgb Technician said the same about CPU.
But is it possible that CPU damaged on it's own or Motherboard caused damage to CPU?

Anyone provide Intel technical support or customer care number?

Also I don't know if motherboards 2 capacitor are damaged before (as it was already damaged in the first place) or after this abrupt shutdown.

damaged motherboard can cause damage to the processor.

so many cases of motherboard damaging other stuff recently on the forum whats going on.

Cheap quality components used in motherboard.

I created support ticket as you all said earlier. And today I got call from, Intel Support.
Why don't they check support ticket before calling?
All things were mentioned and they still ask those same things again. No matter, told them everything. He told me that our technician will check processor as per it's standards, once you send your processor. If it fails then we can provide replacement within warranty.
As it was not in warranty so they can't do anything about it.
Funny thing that they asked me to get help from local repair. (I think they mean repairing for the motherboard).
Also I asked them what to do with this processor? - Nothing we can do about it.

.....
So, any suggestion for cpu + motherboard combination with 1060 GPU (lowest price as of now)? What will be good budget amount should I spend? I can wait very long time. I want to know how much it will cost me.

I'm also getting motherboard repaired, as of now finding good technician in Mumbai. If it is repaired and computer started working again, then no new purchase.

Before repairing motherboard make sure your processor is OK or else you may need to buy a new processor just for the repaired motherboard.

Yes. I will check that.
