Well I think I broke my system and it’s entirely my fault. I just cleaned out my pc of dust and got my idle temps to go from 45C to 30C and everything was running fine. Well my fam started to make a whirring sound so I figured there was a little dust stuck to it. So I kinda smacked/tapped the fan (it really wasn’t that hard like a light slap) and my pc display instantly froze.
So I figured I probably screwed something up inside so I powered it off. Unplugged all components, cleared cmos, reinstalled everything so I figured it’s all good.
well I boot the first time and all I get is lights, fans and peripherals and hdd and ssd activity but no display. So now I’m kinda freaking out figuring it’s my gpu. I wait like 5 minutes and it won’t post or even send signal to the monitor. So I went to power it off and the power button doesn’t even work to turn it off? I held it for a good 2 minutes waiting for something to happen. I had to flip the switch in the back and unplug the psu then plug it back in. Now I plugged it in again and powered it on with the button (it works to turn it on?) and now I get no power to peripherals and no display still. I still get hdd and ssd activity.
Did I kill my gpu and then proceed to kill my psu too?
things I’ve tried:
taking out cmos battery
Taking out gpu
Taking out ram
Taking out nvme and hdds and ssd
Completely unplugging every cord from the back
Disconnecting cpu power
specs:
X570 Gaming x
Rtx 2060 gigabyte (cheapest one I could find)
Ryzen 5 3600
Corsair vengeance LPX
Corsair tx850m
peripherals:
Alienware 2518h
Razer keyboard
Razer mouse
Power a Xbox controller
Old Bluetooth/wifi adapter
please help me I built this pc 2 years a go and it’s never had problems and I’m extremely poor I can’t buy any new parts and my only option is to try to fix this.
