My pc stopped working about 2 weeks ago and I finally found a solution... well kinda, when I jump the 24-pin connector of using a paper clip the cooling fans rgb works and fan spins but GPU and CPU do not. Im not sure what to do please help.

2 possible causes. Motherboard is toast. Psu is toast. Out of the 2, the psu is by far the cheapest and easiest to test/replace.

Not knowing what psu you have, kinda hard to say get the same one. Not knowing it's age, kinda hard to say buy another, it might be under warranty still....

Thanks I’m thinking it’s motherboard. Because the psu wouldn’t send power if it was broken right?

Yep, your PC will not turn on without a working PSU.

That's not necessarily how it works. There are many different ways a PSU can be broken and only some of them involve it being completely dead to the world. It's not a binary works/doesn't work thing.

You need to know how a PSU works in order to know about all this.

If replacing your PSU doesn't work, it's either the motherboard or hardware issues. If none of these fixes work, then your PC is usless.
