Hi, so today I encountered, or I should rather say, caused, a quite puzzling issue with my computer.
When I turned it on it worked just fine except for a rather loud noise from one of the fans... Normally if this happens... this here fine idiot writing for help lifts the back of the case by 3-4cm and then drops it back down... Usually this fixes the fan noise, but this time when I did it the screen lost signal and the PC shut down, even though the power indicator was still on.
I unplugged it and opened up the side panel, then plugged it in again, when I pressed the power button, the power indicator lights up, but nothing on the motherboard seems to work, GPU, CPU and power supply fans are not spinning no signal goes to the monitor, only the front panel power indicator is glowing, also when I press and hold the power button to shut the PC down it does not react and the indicator keeps glowing so I have to kill the power from the PSU O/I switch.
I'm fairly certain that the bump I caused have unplugged something important, but I'm not tech savvy enough to just take the whole thing apart and reassemble it, so I ask which is most likely to cause the problem? The cables on the motherboard seem well connected, could It be a problem within the power supply, but if so why is the "power on" indicator working?
