Author Topic: My computer won't power :c  (Read 520 times)

Yesterday, I just downloaded and starteed playing a game called Kerbal Space Program , no problem, ran the game at max settings, then i shut the computer off and went to bed.
This morning, i went up to start my computer, and it fails to start, so right now, i have to poke around the inside of the the computer and seeing if everything is in order, i really hope it's just a misplaced plug that got detatched or something minor like that, since it would suck to find out my motherboard/PSU died, I love my compy :c

Oh, and for anyone who's wondering, it's a Corsair 650V PSU.

My old computer I've given to my Mom has problems starting up since I stopped using it. It simply won't turn on until it decides to. But I mean, it won't even start up. Yours starts up?

Probably the plug.

UK has some pretty stuffty power-outages.

for a fact you should replugin the main plugs first before knocking about with your stuff.

Mine won't, it seems like the motherboard isn't recieving any power from the PSU, and there's no indicator to see if the PSU is active.

That's what i did, and all the computers in the house work fine, I'm typing one right now.


I remember once with my server just wouldn't power up after I replaced the RAM. Tried messing around a bit, then went to the store and replaced the PSU there (so there wouldn't be any time/effort wasted on transporting back and forth) and it worked there. Drive home, plug in everything. Didn't work again. Back to store (they also have better tools than I have), turns out it was because the power button was broken. So it worked "perfectly" when we re-routed the buttons so the reset button was the power button.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO APHY :(

I replugged some of the stuff , and the computer managed to start! we thought it was all fine but after i turned it off, put the cover on and started it again, it didn't work.

There might be something out of place, it still has a heartbeat :c

It's liver is failing. Your PC is an alcoholic.

Well, turns out the PSU was conked out by something, i'm back on it now, though, i installed the old PSU, i can use the computer at the cost of having a worse graphics card, but that's only for now, since i still have my warranty for the PSU.
Atleast my compy didn't die!
