Question I have a problem with my Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE REV. 1.0, VGA led on and don't show video image

[rylow999]

First my pc booted normally, I shooted it down and when I tried again, it wasnt showing video image and the cpu-dram-vga leds turned on in sequence after staying just the vga one on. I tried everithing and even im testing it with my multimeter, and the coils are everything working fine, so what can i do or test now?

Also, full system specs, including PSU make and model (or part number) is? Also, how old the PSU is, and was the PSU bought new or used/refurbished?

PSU RedDragon RGPS-850W 80Plus Gold Modular bought new

This junk of a PSU?
Specs: https://www.redragonzone.com/products/redragon-master-rgps-850w-80-plus®-gold-atx-3-1-psu-black-white

Essentially 0 info about the PSU on the official specs. No specs, no rail layout, 0 word about warranty. Several red flags to avoid as a plague.
Also, 0 reviews of the unit.
On top of that, reddit also agrees: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1dtj7ho/is_redragon_psu_good/

For comparison, here's official specs of my PSU (i have 650W unit),

And i can also link several reputable reviews of my PSU as well, if need be.


Since PSU powers everything, it is the most important component inside the PC.
Hence why NEVER cheap out on PSU! Also, never buy used PSU either.


So, what might have happened;
Your crap quality PSU went belly up and took something with it as well. You can consider everything connected to the PSU to be dead (aka your whole PC).

Moving forwards;
New, good/great quality PSU is a must.

As far as what components died, either:
* get 2nd, compatible PC, to test individual components out (to be tested are: CPU, MoBo, RAM, GPU)
* or haul your PC to PC repair shop and pay for diagnostics.


I wonder, 🤔 what was the reason(s) why did you buy that Redragon crap?
(Small nitpick; many get that brand name wrong. It isn't Red Dragon. It is Redragon, or Re Dragon or Red Ragon.)
