pc wont turn on please help

[Michael_372]

I used to be able to clear the cmos of my pc and it would start up but now nothing works. When i click the power button it doesnt turn on and when i try to start the pc manually by trying to jump the power button pins nothing happens. I have an asrock z170 pro4s motherboard. Please help, Im not so tech savy and would like to fix this

Hello!

Do you get any signs of power at all?

Do you get fans spinning or anything?

If not it could be PSU failure or motherboard failure, how often did you have to reset the CMOS?

That sounds like either a motherboard issue or a PSU issue, we should wait for others to comment on this post to see what they think.

In my opinion I think that you should replace your power supply and see if that solves the problem.
