[SOLVED] Computer won’t power on no matter what

[aldenbay233]

It all started when I decided to force restart my desktop after it froze one day and it never booted again. No power is sent to my motherboard what so ever. I changed and double checked the psu with the paper clip trick and the fan spun. My gpu is fine. I changed my cpu, motherboard and ram to no avail. I changed the all wires connected to my new psu. Yes the power switch is turned on. Yes my cooler is plugged into the right slots. I tried to manually jump start my motherboard with a screwdriver. I tried using a singular ram stick. No pins are bent on my new motherboard and yes I did plug every wire correctly into the JFP1 slot.

No standby power either when system is off? Possible a standoff or screw isn't being secured both times? Has it always been the same PSU? Your other hardware is highly unlikely since it's been already replaced.

PaperClip test only proves there is some power. Not an indication of a fully functional PSU.

I just got this psu, changed it from a 750w to a 1000w psu both of them works but none of them even powers the computer. No power at all. A singular stand off screw?

I changed the Psu to a new working one to no avail

Yes, trying to find a common link. I'd be sure all 9 screws for ATX board are properly secured. Possible the standoff itself isn't fastened to the chassis correctly.

All are fastened securely. But even so how would one screw on the Mother board be this detrimental to the entire computer

One incorrectly attached could cause a short electrically. No power. Triedbare minimum hardware to try power up? Anything over tightened?

I usually build it outside the case to find the issue if all else fails.
