Don't have another PSU, nor the ability to get one. This machine has worked reliably for about 1.5 years.

Nothing happens, beside the flickering light and the PSU fan. There is no sounds, no monitor that turns on, nothing.

As described under "What it does:", it flashes the GPU light, spins the PSU fan once, then nothing.

Hi there! A week ago I tried to turn on my PC, and found it doesn't start anymore. I hadn't touched it for a day before, but I did have a jigsaw plugged into the same power socket on that day where it was left unused. Could this maybe have something to do with it? What it does: When I press the power button, the GPU light flickers once and the PSU fan makes a single spin. After that, nothing happens. I have tried starting it up with different power cables, power sockets and even different rooms, all gaining me the same result. Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 G.Skill Ripjaws V MOB: Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 PSU: SilentiumPC Vero L3 Bronze 700W OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Storage: Lexar NM620 M.2 256GB (boot) ADATA SU800 SATA SSD 120GB (extra) I have contacted a PC repair company just now, but I wanted to see if maybe I could find some solutions here. And yes, it is self-built.

Do those exist without requiring extra power? Also, aren't those really expensive?

Sure. CPU is an Intel i7 860, running dual channel 16GB (2x8). The motherboard is an MSI Indio. Here's the sticker.

I have absolutely no idea. It's some generic grey/silver one with yellow, red and black wires. It doesn't have a brand name nor a model number on it. It's 460 watt though.

Hi there! My PC isn't great (getting a new one is not an option) so I want to upgrade. I've noticed my biggest bottleneck is my Nvidia/Asus GeForce GT630 (Silent edition) with just 1GB of vRAM. Now, I'm looking for someone that fits in a budget of about 100 euros (US$ 117, CA$ 153). I only have 1 (one) 6 pin connector from my power supply. I'm really not experienced in anything hardware, so I need help finding one. Feel free to help, thanks in advance.

No problem. Have fun with your new case.

Well, I'd start by checking all the (internal) cables, mainly power, and see if there's something loose.

Well, I've lost everything. Good thing is, I'm not missing a lot right now, so most doesn't seem to be important. Thank you for your help.

I'm getting previews of recovered files from EaseUS, and as far as I can see it's going a good job. I'm getting textures from at least some games I had installed on it.

The drive contained primarily Steam games, some other software and images. Can I expect to get most of that back?

Hi there. About an hour ago, I started installing Elementary OS (don't ask about it, I like it). I emptied up a drive and backed it all up. However, when I went to select the drive in the installation, I picked the 500GB one (which is now gone) instead of the 1TB one, which I should've picked. This was entirely by error. So, installation done, I go and try boot from the correct (1TB) drive and it sends me back to Windows. I open Explorer, and, a heart attack ensues. Is there any non-sending off your hard drive way to regain all my files? I'm currently running EaseUS disk recovery, but I don't know how well/much that'll recover.

If you have the wires or a dock to connect a HDD to your new PC, you should just be able to copy the files over to the new PC. If you don't have Windows or whatever OS you use installed on your new PC, you could also just boot from the old drive.
