Hello, I'm new here, and this is actually my first post ever on any forum (be kind).
I was hoping that someone on this forum has some advice for me, and I have already reached out to KMPKT through email. I am new to these types of power supply units but am very familiar (but by no means expert) at computer assembly. I saw the NFC Skyreach Mini somewhere while bored on Youtube and thought it would be a fun project to build a system using that case, and using the Dynamo mini which is similarly attractive and similarly as well thought of in this community. Unfortunately the fun project is turning out to be not so fun, and starting to feel like a possible money pit. Components include:
NFC skyreach
Dynamo mini
Dell 330 watt brick purchased direct from Dell
Gigabyte Z370N WIFI (had a spare), maybe I should get a new ASrock Z390?
8700
EVGA 1060 SC
Gskill Ram
Samsung 970 NVME
Seagate HD
All came together as expected and posted fine. It was not until Windows install that I ran into problems. I would get random boot loops during the install process several times, but ultimately I was able to get windows installed. Everything seemed to be going ok, and during the intitial windows update it happened again. During this process I tried to google my advice, and tried some changes to bios setting (no difference), unplug graphic card (maybe a difference), hard drive, reseat everything, triple check connections.
Anyway, I turned everything off to go to the hospital with my daughter last night and this morning I attempted to start again, and now the whole system is dead. The power led will light, I get a blue light and a faint repeating clicking noise from the Dynamo, the LED on the RAM lights, but the CPU fan never turns on, and the only stop is to unplug the system from power. This time for trouble shooting I tried the PSU in a system known to work with the same supposedly dead results, and a working PSU powers both systems just fine. I troubleshooted the Dell brick only by verifying the green light remains on, and that it has no problems charging and running laptops.
I apologize for the long post, but hopefully it is enough information for someone to recognize and diagnose my problem, or at least suggest some other troubleshooting ideas.
Thank you,
Mike
