Computer won't start

[chris778111]

When I got home today, my computer had shut down for some reason.

When I tried to press the power button, my computer wouldn't start. I have an MSI motherboard; the only response I get once in a while is the OC genie light blinking red for one second, and then nothing happens

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

thanks in advance

if no fans go on then it might be your psu,
did you smell anything bad coming from your case?

I just bought my power supply two days ago, it's an OCZ Modxstream 700w. I put in my old 500w to check if it would work, but it still wouldn't turn on.

I also checked if my CPU was the problem by putting and testing it in my brother's computer, it worked completely fine. Could it be the motherboard? if so, how can I tell?

The motherboard model is an MSI 870A-G54

thanks!

Are the 8 pin cpu connectors plugged in? Is the 24 Pin properly connected and not loose?

OR

You might have fried your system, especially with a MODXSTREAM power supply.

Yes, the power connectors are all plugged in. The system was running fine with the Modxstream for 2 days, until the entire computer shut off.

If I did fry my system, is there any way to confirm it?

You can test your power supply:

This isn't a guarantee though, do you have another power supply to test with?

Yes, I used my old power supply that I replaced, but it still wouldn't turn on. I only changed my power supply to the modxstream because I needed more wattage, not because the old one stopped working
