Good morning. From what you described, it seems the computer stopped responding after a brief flash of RGB light before everything went dark. The power supply appears to be functional, and voltages look normal, but the CPU and motherboard aren’t lighting up. I tried connecting a RAM stick and just the CPU, but nothing works. Could you give me a hint about what might be wrong? Thanks ahead of time.
Because we don’t have the exact details of your setup, I’ll make an educated assumption. It seems like the power supply unit might be the issue. While it passes basic tests, it could trip under stress and shut down quickly. Running a test with another PSU would help determine if that’s the case. Besides the PSU, any of the motherboard, CPU, or RAM could be the culprit. Try swapping one component at a time to see which keeps the system running. Good luck!
Hi! The PSU did fail, that's confirmed. I haven't returned yet since I resolved the issue, but you're absolutely right. Appreciate your support! 😊
