The computer fails to start after it worked before.
I've double and triple verified that the cables are all securely in place. If that doesn't resolve the issue, I might need an eye exam. Thanks for the clear explanation—I'm leaning toward checking the motherboard or PSU next. Since I don’t have a voltage tester, I think taking it to a local repair shop would be the best option. I won’t want to end up with a new PSU causing more trouble. Appreciate your help! I’ll share my progress in future updates.
Consensus reached. It’s wise to seek a second professional view before starting the RMA process without a verified diagnosis and without other options. A faulty cable can occur even with new equipment. However, I’m unlikely to believe it. DOA parts are generally rare but still do happen.
You've got the right idea, my concerns seem valid. I went to a repair shop and they confirmed the motherboard was faulty. I'm planning to file a claim with MSI, though I don't have a warranty, which might limit their options. I'm also hoping for a discount or coupon since it's happening so early in its life. Thanks for your guidance.
