I think my PC died.

My PC won't turn on after I plugged in some drives, and I've tried many things to troubleshoot it. I'm thinking of getting a new PC anyways but I have no way of getting the money for it. It has a 46xx i5 and a EVGA GTX 660 in it and it's running GTA and Alien perfectly fine but other games not so much. Please send help of some sort. Sincerely, Herp.

What are the specs of your current PC?

Also, try unplugging the drives you plugged in, make sure you didn't disconnect the power button wire from the motherboard as well.

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

What do you mean by it won't turn on?  Does pressing the power button do absolutely nothing (no beeps, lights, or fans), or does it "light up" but then just not boot Windows?

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Sounds like your PSU took a crap. Your hardware's not worth tossing over that. If it is just the PSU, a replacement and a new GPU should bring your PC up to speed with more modern games.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.
