Your computer isn't powering up.
Hey there... I bought a new PSU and hooked up all the cables, but the problem keeps happening. It wasn’t just a power supply issue. Now I’m worried my motherboard, CPU, or GPU might be failing. I really need some advice—please share any suggestions you have. I’m feeling really stressed. If you’d like, I can send a video of what’s going on. Thanks.
Even if improbable, the GPU could be responsible. Eliminate it by removing the GPU and checking if symptoms persist. A grounding problem in the case might also be the cause. Disconnect the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and PSU from the case and power them on by shorting the power switches. If the problem isn’t with the PSU, the next probable issue is the motherboard. Other components may fail but are less likely.
I just completed testing my components outside the case, but nothing worked. I used the new PSU to double-check, yet the same problem occurred—no need to short the pins, and it failed instantly. I removed the GPU and tried another slot, but the issue persisted. Should I invest in a new motherboard now? I can't afford to keep purchasing parts until I resolve this. It's frustrating, and money is tight. I'm feeling really disappointed right now. Thanks for your support—it really helped. Wishing you a great day!
