The PC was cleaned, cables reconnected, but it still won’t boot. It briefly powered on for half a second before shutting off. Previously it worked fine a few minutes ago. The PSU is now humming when plugged in, and there’s warranty coverage for all parts. Update: It flickered on for a moment right now.

Are you sure your RAM is firmly installed? I experienced the same problem once my RAM shifted slightly, causing the computer to boot for just a few seconds without any visual output.

Check all connections on your motherboard to make sure they’re secure. If your front IO connectors are missing or loose, there could be a problem.

Was es ein Geräusch zu sein? Welche Art von Geräusch? Können wir vielleicht genauer beschreiben, was passiert ist? Es ist ungewöhnlich, dass PSUs leise sind. Ich vermute, dein Stromversorgungssystem hat möglicherweise Probleme.

It's a faint electrical buzzing sound.

I've already switched to another PSE, but it still won't start.

I feel like a desk electrician, yet I suspect your power supply unit might be faulty. Since it won’t start up, something clearly went wrong. It’d be wise to verify your motherboard connections again.
