My PC won't turn on

[Jaok]

My pc was has been working just fine until yesterday when I couldn't turn it on. The fans (including the psu fan) would start spinning for a split second and stop right afterwards.

 

So then I took out all the hard drives and plugged them into my second pc. They are all working fine.

 

Then I took out the power supply and tested it using the paper clip methord. The psu fan turned on and continued spinning until I turned it off. I also checked the voltages with a digital multimeter and everything seemed fine.

Then I plugged the PSU back into the PC and the same thing happened as yesterday.

Then I unplugged the PSU and tested it with a paper clip and digital multimeter again and everything worked just fine.

 

So at this point I don't even know what to do.

Did you try to power on the Mainboard with the Power switch on the Mainboard itself ? this would'nt be the first broken Power Switch i've heard of

No. What Power switch are you talking about?

[Artherion]

Most Mainboards have a Power and a Reset Switch on the Board itself, check your manual you'll find it

What Board are you using ? btw

I couldn't find the power switch so I tried to turn on th emotherboard with a screw driver like this:

The same thing happened just like when I tried to turn on the pc with the button on the pc case.

The fans started spinning for a split second and then they turned off.

Why not? Did they tell you or do they simply think that everything is alright with it?

[Artherion]

I've just read it. I'm interested to see how it will continue from now on.

Dito, imagine Linus smashing the Board on Youtube to finally put it out of its Misery
