That's a strong statement. What do you mean by "fucking weird shit"?

I built a fresh computer and it would receive power yet fail to start, showing only a blank screen while the fans ran. I assumed the issue was with the components, but now my previous machine wouldn’t turn on at all!?!? I replaced the power supply and it didn’t help much. What could be causing this? My new setup powers up and spins the fans, whereas the old one would just emit a solid yellow light when the power button is pressed.
Do you know the specifications? Look for internal LED indicators that might show problems. Many motherboards include DEBUG lights on the side or a screen displaying error messages. Consider re-seating your RAM or testing a single DIMM to see if it works.
The new computer just has a normal light like everything is fine, talk about weird
It might take between 30 seconds to a minute for the system to start up for the first time. If you shut it down after about 10 seconds, wait a bit longer—patience is key. Verify the video cable is connected to the video card outputs, not the motherboard outputs if you have a dedicated video card. Certain AMD graphics cards can delay monitor initialization with a DisplayPort cable; some BIOS features may detect no monitor and refuse to connect. If feasible, use an HDMI cable instead. Possibly, your new motherboard requires a BIOS update to recognize the CPU you selected. Many modern boards support BIOS flashback, allowing you to transfer the BIOS onto a USB drive and update it via the IO shield button.
You're wondering if you took out the CMOS, but the screen remains blank and the keyboard behaves unpredictably. It seems like the issue isn't fully resolved.
My APU connects via HDMI but shows nothing but a blank screen.
The CPU is the central processing unit, responsible for executing instructions. The motherboard is the main circuit board that connects all components of the computer.
