Make sure that all cables are tightly attached to the motherboard. If still having issues it could be your PSU. When did this start happening? and is this a new Build or have you been using for a while ?

 

[rgd1101]

new build or existing one?

 

[AntonyLovric]

Unplug the computer power supply from the wall, then press the power button. Plug the computer back in the wall, try to power it on again.

With little information, it sounds like it could be the power supply.

Try to reset the CMOS. Do this:

You will need a paperclip/screwdriver/some metallic stuff for this. Also a flashlight is welcome (or just do it with day light):

1st-> open PC.
2nd -> search the CLR_CMOS pins. should be something like this:

3rd -> touch both pins with the metallic (something that is conductive) stuff, so it short circuits, for 5 seconds at least.
4th -> BIOS should be reset to factory default.
5yh -> yey

Before you go and mess with the CMOS battery, let us know if this is a new build or old build. I would not start with reseting the CMOS battery. I would Go from the PSU and work from there. Most likely with the information we have it is your PSU

 

[RageGamingZone]

the current symptoms points to your power supply, or there might be a short somewhere. What you can try is disconnecting all the connectors from the PSU and test one by one and see if your computer will turn on. Then connect one connector at a time to other components, and turning the computer on and off each time.

??

where did you read anything about battery?

But yes I also agree it will be the PSU, but this is something that takes 5 seconds and takes other options out of the way.

 

[stranger 111]

yes its a new build

 

[stranger 111]

but it was working fine before i bought a new casing for the build because the old one sucked.

 

[blasc]

did it stop working the first time you turned it on after changing the case?

you have to be more specific on the steps you took before it stoped working.

 

[stranger 111]

yes the first time

 

[blasc]

ok then its time to open the case, and recheck ALL connections.

Best option would be to take everything apart again (CPU cooler included, but leave this as last resort, because if you take the cooler out you will have to reapply the thermal paste), and put it all again together.

I assume you were the one who built and put all parts together?

yes. but i double checked the connections and every thing. the only thing i didnt plug was the f. panel audio. but is it that necessary.?

 

[blasc]

not really. But did you check or did u separate everything and reconnected everything again?

Time and time again, I recall of people telling that checked everything, and everything was indeed connected.

I insisted, people disconnected and reconnected everything. Computer would now magically work

 

[stranger 111]

even take out the mobo or just the connectors.?

 

[RageGamingZone]

Try with just the connectors 1st

 

[blasc]

yes. try this: take everything outside of the case. Put the motherboard layed on top of the table (wood table please) or on top of some carton thing (the motherboard case would be nice for example). something like this (last picture before putting the stuff in the case):

connect all stuff. connect the PSU. connect to the monitor. turn on

 

[blasc]

I remembered that the case could be doing some kind of short circuiting.... (hard to happen, but has already happened more than once ^^)

 

[stranger 111]

theres a connector on there. CLRTC i dont see no CMOS

 

[RageGamingZone]

CLRTC is the same as CMOS for ASUS boards

 

[AntonyLovric]

CLR RTC, clear runtime clock, that will reset the settings, usually you move the jumper over for a couple seconds, then move it back (open up the connection).

 

[stranger 111]

oh thanks mate. i disconnected everything reconnected em and it worked. idk why it just did. Thanks
