Hello,
Problem: When powering up the PC, my CPU fan turns on and then quickly off, no other sound or beep.
Attempted Troubleshooting: Initially, I reset the cmos and then the problem repeated again. Then, I stripped all the parts out of the PC except the cpu, cpu cooler, mobo, and PSU, but to no avail. Then asked a friend to borrow his PSU assuming my PSU lacked the power delivery hence the flicker, so I created a test bench with the new psu and the cpu, cooler, ram, and gpu, which ended up working. To that conclusion, I put everything back in the case and powered on the system with the same problem, it briefly flicked on and off again. I assumed that maybe the standoffs or the screws could be shorting the mobo, so I put the mobo, cpu, and cpu cooler outside of the case with the PSU remaining inside the case. After that, the same problem repeated and it flicked on and off again. Finally, I created another test bench just in case I have ruined a component, but the PC still boots up and runs.
