My pc is not turning on, i mean the motherboard and graphics card leds are on. When i press the start button fans spin up, but there's no post, and the activity leds doesn't turn on. I just upgraded my motherboard to asus b450 from asus x370 prime thinking it was bad, or died; but same thing. I did a dry assembly to see if everything works and it did turn on and posted. So i put the system in the case and tried turning it on, but same problem. Is my power supply bad? I am running : ryzen 1600x g skill 2400mhz (8x2)gb memory asus rog strix rx 560 was running asus prime x370 pro now upgraded to asus prime b450m a2 128gb seagate ssd 1tb wd hdd power supply corsair tx650m Please help, cant figure out what's the problem.
Everything seemed to function properly until installation inside the case caused issues. Then problems arose after mounting. You mentioned using standoffs but didn’t specify if they were included in the package. If you removed them, inspect them carefully—they could cause grounding issues, damage your board, or even fry components. Another possibility is improper wire routing; a bent wire or pinched line might dislodge it. A minor wire cut could expose metal to the case, leading to failure. Regarding the PSU, you’re right—it appears to be in good condition and semi-modular, which is actually beneficial. It worked fine outside the case, so the problem likely lies elsewhere.
Thanks for your reply. I've managed to resolve the issue—it appears there were several points of failure at once. The main concern seems to have been a faulty PSU, though I'm not entirely sure. Swapping it fixed everything. The system originally came with four PSUs, starting from the PC about six and a half years ago. The first two were identical models from Cooler Master. It looks like I've had some bad luck with PSUs or maybe they weren't powerful enough. The last unit was still working well for about four years. My front panel connections also seemed to be problematic, but I installed them carefully—no kinks, and I made sure the cables were secure. I'm planning to replace the case soon. There were no short circuits on the motherboard, though there was an issue with the RAM slot on the X370-PRO board. I've replaced both. Apart from the CPU and graphics, everything else has been swapped out temporarily. I hope the PSU was the only problem, so I can proceed with rebuilding the PC for a home theater setup.
