Computer starts up, yet devices and screen remain inactive
Computer starts up, yet devices and screen remain inactive
Hi, during my session on the computer it suddenly stopped completely, affecting the whole system not just the program I was running. I attempted to restart via the power button on the case, but that didn’t help, so I powered off the machine. When I turned it back on, the RGB lights and fans were active, yet my peripherals and monitor failed to receive signals. Many users reported similar issues in forums, so I tried the solutions they suggested, but nothing resolved the problem. Here’s what I’ve already attempted: pressing power and restart buttons briefly while unplugged the device, removing and reinstalling RAM and GPU, replacing the CMOS battery, and short-circuiting the CMOS battery. My PC has been in use for about two years now, and I keep cleaning dust regularly. What could be causing this?
Make sure to examine each connection carefully, testing the power supply one by one. A bad PSU or motherboard might be the issue. Check the cables and components step by step; trace the problem and if nothing works, suspect a faulty PSU or board. Look for damaged parts or burns. If you're familiar with multimeters, perform continuity tests on the cables. It may take time, but that's how it should be done.
