Hello! I was using my Windows PC when the power suddenly cut off while I was working. After that, it turned on quickly but then shut down very fast. I thought it wouldn’t be a big issue. When power returned, I tried starting up the computer, but it didn’t boot at all—just a black screen appeared. There’s also an orange light on the motherboard that usually pulses, but now it isn’t working. I’m guessing this is related to the power loss and the flickering. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you!

Start by disconnecting the IEC cable from the PC. If needed, connect it elsewhere to verify it remains active. Allow it to sit unplugged for about five minutes before retrying.
