Tell us the specs

[Fasauceome]

we need many, many more details. Spec list (pcpartpicker is ideal), what you use the PC for, etc. Pictures can help.

you can send any defective parts in for repair. You should not freak out about this possibility, it happens to all of us. I have had to send many parts in for RMA or refund in the past.

ok, here's what you can do:

Take everything out of the case.

Set the mobo on something large and non-conductive, like a phone book.

Plug in only the video card, power supply, leave the cpu and cooler and ram on.

Turn it on (or attempt to) and see what happens.

if it's not turning on, then you can at least test the PSU by jumping it and confirming if it turns on, If it'd dead ,RMA the PSU. If not, we'll go from there.

 

How to Jump a PSU

my question is how can it work for 4 F****ING days normally and suddenly BREAKS LIKE THAT , im panicking right now I don't think im capable of doing anything with a screw driver I can't focus....

Like what in the world could cause this .... I'm speechless....

Hardware defects. It happens.

Did you OC anything? That will cause premature failure as well

How is your power in the room? If it's dodgy, that'll cause issues too.

any loose cables/connections?

Didn't oc anything, checked if cables are plugged in really correctly before I turned it on... I've calmed a bit now I will try to jump the psu with a fan plugged to it to see if it is the problem. Except I don't have a paper clip and I don't know what to do... I'll try to contact a friend  to see if he has one.

Not really dodgy I live in France and the thing that I plug the monitor and the computer can handle 3000w and I've been using it for a while previously  with my laptop charger phone etc...

Just make sure the rest of the power supply isn't plugged into anything else...

I'm gonna take it off from the case and see what happens....

One other issue is the video from corsair on how to jump a psu is really old and they are using colored cables and he did it on specficily colored cables but mine are black so I don't know how to find which one to put the clip in...

Now all that test will show is if the PSU is getting power. It doesn't show if the PSU can handle putting out enough power under load, but it's a start.

Actually one thing that was missing from the case are like plastic standoffs for the power supply... As shown in the picture, I only had two so I put them diagonally and screwed the power supply and it seemed really fixed in place not moving at all. And I checked the powrsupply while running it doesn't touch the bottom of the case, could that have caused the issue somehow? 

Edit: I highlighted the things I'm talking about

No, other parts of the PSU touch metal to metal on the case. This is not a problem (other than for possible vibrations)

Try to remove the cmos that's usually what you do first hand with a not working computer and it solves most of the problems and it takes like 5 minutes. You can search online how to remove it and put it back in.

In fact the metal of the PSU is supposed to touch the metal of the case, so that everything is grounded to the outlet.

upgdate : after i jumped the PSU and saw it was working I replugged everything correctly and made sure they are plugged and now it is working? did I not plug something correctly before or something?? i applied preasure after i heard the click  on things like 24 pin and 8pin cpu.....

It's possible that something simply came loose.

 

If your PC stops working in the future, make sure to take a deep breath and calm down, because your anxiety might make things worse.

I know , that's exactly what i did i just went outside to get some groceries and took a deep breath and came back and now its working, I just hope the issue doesn't come back again.

also one question . I thought that maybe the dust filter under the PSU was maybe causing the PSU to choke on air and heat up? I removed it , is it bad should I put it back?

also the reason why i got anxious cause its my first build and i put a lot of hard earned cash into it.... but hopefully its fine now !!

Dust filters benefit from the occasional cleaning. It's best to keep it there, and pull it out again in a few months to clear it again.

yea I decided to just put it back.... thanks a lot for the help man

Thanks everyone that suggested fixes and  especially for advising me to calm down its obviously the best thing I could do if an issue like this occurs
