Basically my pc randomly shut down and while the power button led lights up no fans in the pc come on nor does anything appear on the screen, I have tried testing the psu using the paper clip method but the psu simply didn't work even though the power led came on, I don't understand why only the led would come on.
Thanks

Are you able to test with a multimeter what volts your PSU is distributing?

Assuming you shorted it correctly, and the cables are good, If it's failed the paperclip test, it's likely dead. However a multimeter will give a better idea.

What PSU make and model is it?
