My computer stopped functioning unexpectedly. When I pressed the power button, there was no response. After opening the case, I noticed that pressing the fan control didn’t cause any spinning. Everything remained silent. I tried several things: checked the PSU, confirmed it was fine and the fan spun when connected, and tested using an external LED circuit to power on the board. Whenever I switched the supply from the board before pressing the power button, a light appeared on the motherboard but nothing else happened—no fan spinning, no beeps, no booting, no CPU or GPU fans running. The issue seems complete. Possible causes could include a failing motherboard, faulty power supply, or a hardware malfunction.

It hasn't been opened for a while—like five to six months—it just stopped without any notice.

Would you like to eliminate the CMOS or swap it out?

You may either eliminate the CMOS for 1 to 5 minutes before reinserting it, or check for any connectors you can short-circuit to reset the CMOS.

It depends on the situation. If you reverse something, it might not create the same issue again.

Reversing it clears the CMOS, restoring the BIOS configuration. That’s the method to reset the CMOS.
