Last week I assembled a gaming PC. Now it won’t power on. The monitor displays a blinking power LED, but the PC remains dark. What’s going wrong? How can I resolve this? I also notice electrical issues inside the case—touching it gives a sharp shock. Is this connected to the problem or something else? I’m unfamiliar with PC setup, so I’m worried. Is this a serious issue?

Verify the PC specifications. Ensure the monitor uses DP or HDMI connection. Disconnect the monitor cable from the PC, switch the PSU off, then reconnect and power on the PC.

I can't send images or photos directly. However, you can describe the setup in detail and I’ll help you format it clearly.
