PC remains inactive, motherboard displays a warning red indicator for a brief moment
Consider testing with a paperclip, but place it in the rear of the 24-pin connector while it remains connected to the motherboard. This step can provide some insights. 1. If the board powers up, your chip may be faulty and you should replace the motherboard. 2. If it doesn’t boot but fans spin at full speed, your chipset is probably damaged and a new board is needed. 3. If nothing occurs, the issue likely lies with power delivery, probably from the PSU.
Insert the paperclip into the rear of the connector at the green and black cables (the fourth and fifth cables on the right side).
Didn't resolve the issue. Should I ensure everything is connected to the PSU or is that problematic? Thanks for your help—your support is great!
Ensure all components are connected and the power supply is active. You're initiating a jump start to activate the system and check for issues. The process involves skipping the SIO interface.
The issue seems consistent regardless of the flashing, which suggests the PSU might be defective.
I think a component is interfering with the PSU short detection switch. Likely a faulty PSU or a ground connection issue. The paperclip test didn’t confirm the problem, so it probably wasn’t just the connector. You mentioned no fan noise—this suggests a more internal fault.
