You were just gaming on WoW when your computer stopped working and won’t start up. Here are some possible solutions: check for updates, run a system check, ensure hardware is healthy, and verify power settings. If issues persist, consider restarting or seeking technical support.
I7 4790 processor, RX 580 graphics card, 8GB RAM, 600W power supply, 500GB solid-state drive, 16GB of memory. Note: the motherboard is quite outdated and offers limited customization options.
It seems like you're unsure about testing RAM sticks. Your thoughts suggest checking the power supply unit or motherboard first. If you lack replacement parts, a nearby repair shop might be able to assist. However, you mentioned not being familiar with hardware issues, so it might help to seek guidance from someone more experienced.
Disconnect the device from the power source, hold for 5-10 seconds, then reconnect. A lit LED on the motherboard indicates a stable 5V standby voltage from the PSU. If the system fails to boot, the power supply is likely dead. You can verify by removing all cables and using a short wire or paperclip to force the PSU on by connecting two pins in the 24-pin connector together.

Add what Mariushm mentioned... First, verify your main power outlet to ensure electricity reaches the device from the electrical panel. It’s possible the circuit was overloaded and the protection shut off—such as when other devices like an air dryer or heater are connected. Try inserting a lamp into the same socket where the PC was plugged in to test functionality. If it works, the issue likely lies with the computer's power supply unit. If not, inspect your electrical panel for a tripped circuit breaker.
