Computer requores long s press on power button to boot

[Twisted_Killer]

It started few weeks ago. It had been raining for few weeks with some gaps. It worked fine for a couple of days from the beginning of rain but after 2-3 days it didnt boot up.

I tried removing and reseating ram but it didnt work so i called an computer repairer and he checked PSU and mobo. The psu's fan worked but tje mobo didnt. He tried using nrw Psu but it still didnt switch on. He said that the components were colder than usual and suggested drying it but he found out a small part of tge ram burnt. So ge claimed thr mobo was faulty.

After about a werk of waiting (for an another gut) out of bordem, i tried switching it on and it worked. I found out that the burnt ram works and my backup ram didnt. So, i used the conputer with thr slightly burnt ram. But the next day, the same problem happenrd. No lights nor fans worked but i kept prrssimg the power key and it booted up. Agter a few days (today) it doesnt boot. And it had rained yraterday night. The only loght that is on is the internet connection wire (it was akways lit when u switched on the UPS).

I want to know the problem behind it and how tofix it.

No burn was spotted in the ram spot and im using the other slot. Weirdly i dont hear beeps without ram.

I suspect a bit of moisture is causing it bug im not sure. Im goibgto replace ram ASAP but i really want to knoq the exact reason behingdd it.

I tried directly connecting the Psu to plug point.

Sorry for spelling mistakes.

Replace your cmos battery with a new one.

How much do they cost?

Cant use the forums easily because of phone D:

 

[bailojustin]

They are dirt cheap, it is a CR2032 Battery, if you have another motherboard laying around anywhere take the battery from that one, put it in yours and try.

V
Are there any other possile problen?

 

[bailojustin]

Lots, but that's why you troubleshoot till you find the issue. Memtest86 your ram

 

[Twisted_Killer]

Tried new battery, it didnt work. How ca i mem test without booting?

 

[bailojustin]

Reset the cmos
Remove all power from the psu, unplug it from the wall
Remove the battery
Hold the power button for 20 seconds solid, important
Reinsert battery
Plug in psu and boot. Remove 1 ram stick when booting if it fails to boot with 2

It was a rechargeable one and also when my compuuter worked, the time was different.

 

[Twisted_Killer]

Doesnt work (should i remove psu wires from mobo too?)

 

[bailojustin]

No, try 1 ram stick in all the slots, booting up till one boots.

 

[Twisted_Killer]

Tried in both slots and didnt work. Should i wait for it to charge?

Just to make sure, the monitor is black, no fans spin and only the internet connection point's light works. Basically it doesn't switch on.

Just ensuring i havent used wrong terms in prev posts

It got switched on now, automatically 0.o . I Kept the UPS and PSU on, didn't press power key and used an fan (table fan) to make the air go out it the PC got switched on automatically. I don't think it'll last long until i find and fix the root cause. (It acts like thing once the weather gets cold/rainy)

Rebuild your computer, remove everything and reassemble it ensuring to put standoffs on the motherboard and case to avoid short circuits, make sure the IO panel is attacked nicely and tight as this is the ground for your motherboard. close your PC case, if you really want a fix, go to the store buy a thing called "DAMP-RID" or some packages of 'Silica Gel" place these inside the case all over, this will stop the humidity in the case. Your problem sounds like a short circuit, thats why when it gets cold/rainy the excess moisture in the air can cause a MM connection between the board and something not grounded possibly causing a short.

The root cause most likely 75% lies with the PSU, its very fragile and sounds like its the one suffering at the moment. Is there any way you can download speccy, then top left corner, publish and send me the URL
