![]() It should be set to the line, not the circle. Check to be sure your power supply switch is turned to the proper setting in the ON position.If you run into problems along the way, manufacturer documentation is a great source of information that is specific to that product. Always begin with having read and understood all of the manufacturer guides before attempting to build your computer.Whether you're a first-time builder or experienced, it's not uncommon to run into some snags or miss something minor in your build. So it comes down to swapping out components in the end.In this guide we'll go over the general troubleshooting steps to go through if you have a newly built PC that won't power on/boot/POST. I'd list the probability of failure of the components in this order: Testing that is hard without parts to swap around. The next suspect would be the mainboard and especially the VRM around the CPU there since they are under a lot of stress on high load. If you get another behaviour it's probably either the PSU or the GPU. To reduce the load remove the graphics card (if you have graphics onboard, plug your monitor in there, otherwise just start without display). Maybe the voltage drops as soon as there is load. Maybe it does not output the right voltage (check with a multimeter if possible). And depending on how it failed it could display exactly that behaviour. You've done some good debuggying already so let's continue. So what could be wrong? Basically almost everything! Because your issue appears LONG before the OS even starts up! But modern operating systems on modern file systems (and for once I count recent versions of Windows in that category) can handle this gracefully on most cases.īut this is not your issue. The file system could be in an inconsistent state after an unclean shutdown. It can only be an issue for the OS or more precisely for the filesystem. Shutting the PC down the hard way is not a big issue for the components. It hung befor so whatever happened to your computer happened before you shut it off. How do I determine what the hell is going on?įirst of all: I don't think that you resetting or switching off your PC did cause any problem. ![]() Otherwise it could be the GPU (God I hope it isn't since it's an RTX 3070) or the CPU. all the lights turn on fine and all the components seem to be correctly turned on: lights are on, fan are spinning and so on. ![]() So now there are four possible causes left: my PSU (which is by the way almost 7 years old) died, but it doesn't seem the case cause I'd expect the PC to turn on and then shut down during POST (right?), or my motherboard died, but I don't know how to test for this. I disassembled my whole PC and assembled back in place to check for visible signs of burnt components or something like that, but I didn't see anything suspicious.I tried flashing a more recent version of the BIOS through the back button.I tried to reset CMOS, removing the battery from the motherboard for around 10-15 minutes, it didn't work.I tried putting both on another working PC and they work just fine. I tried to leave one RAM stick at a time, I tried to swap their positions and so on but nothing worked. I tested the RAM given the diagnostic LED that's turned on.I own an MSI BMG B550 Gaming Plus motherboard, and I'm now trying to diagnose what is failing. Now the EZ debug led for DRAM is stuck on and the PC doesn't POST, my display doesn't receive any signal. My monitor displayed a black screen but my PC didn't turn off, and even pressing the power button for long time didn't turn it off so eventually I turned off the power directly from the PSU (stupid choice, ikr).įrom that moment on my PC won't reboot. Yesterday after a long gaming session I decided to quit the game and my PC stuck at the exit screen, I couldn't move my mouse pointer, ctrl+alt+del didn't didn't work and out of frustration I decided to hit the reset button on the case.
