I've struggled with my PC for four years now. In the first year it worked perfectly, but after a year it wouldn't boot Windows. I had to replace the CPU and update the BIOS. Eventually it started working again. After playing Counter-Strike for five months, it began to bluescreen. I tried restarting and reinstalling Windows, but I didn’t know how to back up anything, so everything was lost. Around three months ago, after moving my computer, it started functioning normally for about a day before failing completely when I turned it on. It’s frustrating because I’m not sure how to fix this. Please help me out!

This sounds like it is probably a motherboard or power supply issue. Are you able to borrow a power supply from another PC to test with?

I recently purchased a new power supply for the third time, but it didn’t work. I’m currently using a Corsair CV650, though my previous power supply was a Corsair CX650. I might switch back to the older one even though both are over three years, because I believe the CX650 offers superior quality.

This setup isn't working well. If I had your situation, I'd take apart the whole thing and reassemble it carefully, ensuring everything is clean, correctly placed, and properly connected. Then attempt to start it again, ideally reinstalling Windows completely.

I’m considering a BIOS update for the motherboard since the power supply isn’t working. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, I’d request a replacement from the manufacturer through an RMA.

Right now I'm likely setting up a new computer.

Check your PC's BIOS settings and ensure it's set to the correct configuration for your hardware. If issues persist, consider updating the firmware or consulting the manufacturer's support resources.

Keep it safe instead of discarding it.

Verify presence of BIOS flashback using a USB stick containing the BIOS file in the designated back USB port. Search online for relevant information.
