The issue is unclear. Could you provide more details?
I recently assembled a new PC with a Ryzen 5 5600X, TimeTech Pinnacle kit, DDR4 8GB (x4), ASUS Prime B550-plus AC-HES, EVGA 500W 1, and AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100. It’s a 64-bit system. After finishing the build yesterday, everything worked smoothly until I shut it down and now it won’t power on. I replaced the CPU, so I’m assuming the issue lies with the motherboard or power supply unit. Since I don’t have a paperclip to test the PSU, what should I try next?
No changes occur when repeating the same action as before (lights, fans). Edited January 5, 2025 by leclod
Any object with conductivity works. I often use a tiny screwdriver, though a butter knife will also do. Occasionally, there’s a hiccup you need to disconnect and reconnect your computer from the wall power to get it to start. If you’re unlucky, you might have to repeat this each time you attempt to boot. You could try resetting the CMOS memory in the hope it fixes the problem. Alternatively, you can update the BIOS, assuming it’s a bug in your current one. Hope that assists.
Whenever I press the power button, nothing occurs. The fans remain still, the RGB lights stay off, and there’s no response. After removing the motherboard, it appears undamaged, though I’m not sure. Also, when I disconnect everything and plug in just a fan, it doesn’t turn on or light up either.
Sure, I get it—flashing the BIOS can be confusing. Let me break it down in simple terms. If you're setting up your PC for the first time, you'll typically need to access the BIOS setup during boot. From there, you can update or change your BIOS settings. If you're unsure, it's best to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Need more details?

I just removed the motherboard and looked for any signs of damage, but found nothing. I put it back in and tried again—it still didn’t power on. It seems there might be an issue with the PSU or the motherboard itself. I’m not sure which one it is yet.
