[SOLVED] PC won’t start

[alexflorio]

Hi,

I have just built a PC yesterday. It was running fine and went into sleep mode whilst I went downstairs. I came back up and touched the power button to turn the PC back on, but it clicked and switched completely off.

The GPU (Asus Duo OC RTX 2060) has a white LED flashing continuously above the PCIE 8 pin power cable, but the system will not power on at all.

I have tried removing the GPU and all peripherals, checked the cables for the PSU and reset the CMOS battery, to no avail.

Anyone got any idea?

Thanks in advance

Try pulling the motherboard battery out for a few minutes and then sticking it back in.

Hi,

I tried resetting the CMOS battery. This unfortunately didn’t work

I'm guessing you don't have another PSU that you could try?

Nope, unfortunately not. What’s confusing me is that the GPU has a white LED on it which is continuously flashing - surely that means there must be some power going to the system?

I would try re-seating everything before giving up; like the CPU power cables, take out and reseat RAM (would try one stick at a time).

Tried this too. No avail there either

Hi just an update. I completely forgot about an old pc i had with a semi decent power supply in it, same wattage. Plugged all cables in from that and hey ho, it booted straight away. Gonna RMA the PSU and get that replaced Many thanks for your suggestions
