PC fails to start, no BIOS display, no debug lights, but fans are active. Need assistance!
Hi, so I was using my pc like any other then suddenly my computer blue screens. After the blue screen I couldn't boot the computer up, with no posts or bios screen or anything. But after reseating ram sticks and replugging everything, after a couple of tries it booted, to Windows 11 like normal.
When it booted, Windows notifications told me that my boot drive had a problem with it (corrupted or missing files I don't really remember), so it told me to restart so that it could repair the files. After the restart, it says theres no more drive problems, and I thought my pc was back to normal, but then just to make sure. I shut down my pc again just to confirm it boots properly...
Aaand now it won't boot anymore, my screen is just pitch black, theres no ASROCK splash screen, no nothing. Not even any debug Leds that my motherboard usually displays everytime I turn it on, but now when I press the power button its just... blank on the LED. And to turn the PC off to restart and try again, I gotta hold it for like 5 seconds because the restart button won't work.
My RGB is on, and for some reason my 3050's fans are spinning, even though the PC is idling which is very unusual.
Any help or suggestions would be incredibly helpful, please!!!!
My specs:
Ryzen 5500
Asrock Phantom B550 PG Velocita

750W PSU
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
750W PSU
The advertised wattage is 750W, but details about the model and age are unclear. You may need to find a well-built PSU from someone else or check if your current setup works with a known platform. Consider moving your SSD onto a working system connected via USB to test functionality. If it doesn’t work, it could mean the drive failed, though the motherboard might also be at fault.
Hi, thanks for your message! So I own a Super Flower Leadex II 750w Gold PSU from last year. I don’t have the tools to test my SSD, PSU, or motherboard since I don’t have another system, but I can take it to stores on weekends to check what’s possible before then! Thanks again for your help!
