I unplugged my computer while it was on and it doesn't turn on anymore.

Basically what the title says. I hit the plug on accident and it came out and now my computer won't even turn on. Do I need to buy a new computer?

Did you plug it back in?

 

[carter11]

I plugged it back in...

And for computer specs it has a 500 w power supply, GTX 1060 6GB, Ryzen 5 1600X, 1 TB hard rive.

 

[carter11]

I also forgot to add 16 GB of ram.

 

[jankerson]

There is a switch on the back of the power supply.

Turn it off and then back on again.

 

[carter11]

There is the circle and line thing, the switch thing is down on the line one where it was before the cord came out. I've tried so many times and it still won't turn on.

 

[carter11]

I've plugged the cord back in by the way.

Did you turn it off then back on again?

 

[carter11]

Yes. It still won't work.

 

[jankerson]

Yes. It still won't work.

It's it plugged into a power strip?

Anything else getting power?

Try switching outlets.

 

[carter11]

It's plugged into a power outlet. My monitor is getting power from it but not my pc. The cord isn't long enough to reach anywhere else.

 

[carter11]

I mean power strip.

Open the case up and see if there are any lights on inside at all.

 

[carter11]

I can't see any light, I have glass outsides. There is usually a visible light but I can't see it right now.
I built this computer by the way.

What PSU is it?

You aren't getting any power.

This computer is only about 3 months old too. I built it in September.

Sounds to me like the PSU is history at this point.

The MB isn't getting any power at all from the PSU.

 

[carter11]

What could have happened to it?

 

[jankerson]

What could have happened to it?

Well more than likely it couldn't handle the stress from being unplugged like that and something popped. It's not that great of a PSU really.

I would try another outlet however or switching the power cords around.

 

[carter11]

Okay. I really hope this works.

 

[carter11]

It's came unplugged while on over 7 times and always works after. Just not this time.

 

[jankerson]

Okay. I really hope this works.

I am sure the PC is fine though, it sounds like the PSU is gone.

The lower quality units can only take so much.

7 times?

How is that happening?
