PC won't turn on after shutting it down last night.

[Groxxy]

Hi everyone. Turned my computer of two nights ago and it was working fine no obvious defects then I tried to turn it on yesterday but it would boot. All I hear is a single tick from the PSU. If it helps the motherboard power switch is on so I am not sure what is wrong with it. At first I thought it was the cpu fan header as it was lose but it then still didn't work so I am not sure anymore...

Go through Tom's Checklist - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems

If you can't get it to at least POST then you have to swap out components. So post your build.

What I don't get is it was working fine for about 2 months and then bam it stops. I can't find an explanation for that.

Who knows? Go through the checklist. You might find a loose wire. Or a water leak.

If you hear a tick from the psu when you try to start up, this is the breaker in the psu kicking out BECAUSE THERE IS A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM. It could be in the psu itself or in any of the wiring or the motherboard itself. But trust me it is a short. It might be as simple as an unplugged connector from the psu touching some metal somewhere or it could be inside the psu. Good luck finding it. I would start with opening up the PC and just carefully looking for anything that might be causing it. Then you can start hunting it down by the process of elimination. You can disconnect the power plugs to the mother board and shunting the green wire to a black wire in the plug (with it unplugged) and then plugging it in. If the power supply goes on, and stays on, you know that the problem is not in the power supply itself. If you are afraid to do that without better instructions you can google testing psu and finding a video on it.

I found a youtube video for you. IT'S NOT THAT DANGEROUS REALLY. Don't be afraid to do this.

Indicates one of them is dead.

You can test your CPU cooler fan and the Power Supply.

CPUs rarely die.
