Your computer is showing signs of trouble. The HDD activity light comes on when you press power, but it doesn’t start up properly. This could mean a power issue, a faulty drive, or a software problem. Check the power connections, try a different power source, and see if the light stays on consistently. If it still doesn’t work, there may be hardware damage that needs professional help.

Exploring the PSU with a nod of appreciation – maybe it’s the right choice?

Verify that power cables are correctly attached. Are the system specifications met? Was this equipment recently installed or has it been functioning before?

We require additional information. Is this system new? Was it recently altered? What action did you take just before it ceased functioning? What are the specifications of the device? Reverting the CMOS battery could help, but without sufficient details it remains uncertain, essentially a guess without certainty.

All seems fine. The HDD activity indicator activates only after pressing the power button, yet the device doesn’t start.

It seems you're asking about the technical details of a device. Could you clarify what you mean by "hardware specs"? Are you referring to a specific machine or product?

Mate, it gives us nothing useful. We must have the specific information you asked for so I can assist you properly.

It seems unclear, but it’s an initial inquiry. Did the fans start spinning after pressing the power button? Have you cleared the CMOS? Were you doing something before it stopped? Have you made any changes?
