  • Reasons Why Your Computer Won't Power On
    I will show you troubleshooting - Why Won't My Computer Turn On? in 60 seconds. Its super easy and this should help you understand why your pc is dead.
    What to Do When Your Computer Won't Turn On
    1. Power supply is dead or Incorrect power supply or Power cord is bad or not connected properly or PSU switch is NOT turned on.
    2. Loosely connected hardware, make sure hardware is properly seating ie: RAM, CPU, GPU, HDD, SSD
    3. CPU Power Cable, 24 Pin, Power Switch, Power is not plugged in or Power Button is broken or not plugged into motherboard.
    4. Don't use an Extension Lead or try another Wall Socket
    5. Try bypassing pc case power button by jumping the Power Switch on the Front Panel Connector.
    Tried all above?
    6. Possible Bad motherboard
    7. Possible Bad CPU

    It all makes sense, when I was building my Pc, i directly connected it to the wall socket. When I was finally done, I went to fix it on a side of the room with an extension lead. Thanks! But I wonder what the solution could be since I can’t move my setup next to a wall socket.

When I tried to turn it on, it powered for a second (the fans started spinning, and the light turned on), but right after that, it stopped and turned off.

    But most of the time it does that, after waiting for about 15 minutes then PC will run and I can use it for more than 5 hours with no issues

    when i boot my pc they light up in sequence. it starts with the white led(4 seconds), goes to yellow(4seconds), but then once it turns red only lights up for 1-2 seconds then goes back to white and the sequence loops. They don’t blink rapidly they light up once each. I have power, gpu,AIO and fans all turn on. I reseated my plugs, ram, gpu, flashed bios, still nothing. help!!! do i need to clear the cmos and redo bios flash? brand new build trying to get it to post

    So my computer won't turn on, my power supply is working( if I plug a paper clip in it the fan will go). But when I try to use the screwdriver doesn't turn it on. Is it my motherboard?

    Okay so here is the thing
    My pc wasn't powering up properly . After switching it on , it took like 30 mins to 1 Hr before powering up. The technician told me to contact him if the system fully shuts down becoz he couldn't find what's wrong . Yesterday the pc shuts down completely and bro tells me it was a psu issue . He switches the psu and it was working. I asked him to check my older psu on a different setup but he told me it wasn't required . Today I have the same issue and my pc isn't powering up. It powered up after an hour.
