I can do this even without applying new thermal paste?

Yea okay that's fine thanks, I'm willing to try anything at this point so can you please let me know what is needed to be connected or removed to test during this process e.g. Don't connect the liquid cooler, remove ram, have 1 fan connected etc?

I've tried booting with the whole graphics card removed, I thought that would be better in general just to strip everything down to the bare bones. That too hasn't worked as nothing happens when I press the power button.

Yea that's the part I'm unsure of, the red side that states PCIe if I plug in an 8pin connector I get a fine message but when I plug I the 6 pin that's when I get an error. That's why I said I'm not sure if it's because not all of the pins are being filled like they would be with the 8 pin...

Thanks, OK here are the pics https://pixhost.to/show/706/360326048_20230615_044511.jpg https://pixhost.to/show/706/360327060_20230615_044453.jpg https://pixhost.to/show/706/360327500_20230615_044422.jpg

I should have mentioned it did the exact same thing with another cable. I would post pics but I can't see where that's possible.

Yea I tried your latter suggestion and it's still the same outcome. For what it's worth I tried connecting my PCIe cables that usually connects into my gpu into the Dr. Power II and the 6pin cable returned a fault message. Anything to make of that?

My CPU never came with a cooler. I have an old I think it's Noctua DH-15 but I don't have any thermal paste so I'm not sure about switching that in that regard. Also just for my understanding what makes you think it's the cooler and not related to the motherboard or PSU?

It shut down on it's own. I had left the room for a while with it on and when I returned it was off.

No it's not, roughly about 2 years now. The only issue I would say that happened in that time is that the PC would restart itself every now and again.

Nothing happens at all when I press the power button.

Apologies, my spec is as follows: CPU: Intel Core i7 12700K CPU Cooling: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 Motherboard: Asus rog strix z690 a gaming Ram: Crucial Ballistix RGB BL2K32G32C16U4BL 3200 MHz SSD/HD: Samsung 860 evo & Western Digital Black GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Vision 8GB OC...

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem thst I can't seem to get to the bottom of. My PC powered off and now pressing the power button on the case does nothing. I'm not sure if it's a motherboard or PSU issue. The motherboard is an Asus rog strix z690 a gaming motherboard which still is lit to show...
