PC won't turn on

[Bon]

Recently my brother and I had the good idea of dual monitoring (our PCs are right next to each other) and we only had one extra space on the power strip we're using, so we did the dumb thing and connected another power strip to the first strip and our monitors into the second strip.

 

This morning I was checking my email and playing OSRS when everything turned off. Eventually everything turned back on except for my PC.I unplugged the second power strip, plugged my PC into a wall socket, nothing has worked yet. There are lights on in my PC still but nothing else.

 

I don't know if it means anything but my RGB keyboard also has its lights on

can you try plugging the PC into another socket, this is unlikely but fingers crossed hopefully you just fried the socket.

Edit: reread your post, ive seen you have already done this. Definitely swap out the PSU

Same thing happens, I can hear the speakers turn on, the keyboard turns on, and the lights connected to my GPU but it won't turn on

try the inegrated graphics (aka the display/hdmi ports on you motherboard) maybe u killed your gpu

yeah that sounds pretty bad, can you swap out parts through process of elimination figure out which parts have been fried. First things first definitely swap out the GPU, PSU, mobo. Experiment, see what works and what doesnt and then report back to us

I tried my own PSU in my own PC and it worked again so I guess the problem is fixed? I don’t know what the problem was, maybe I plugged some cords into different spots on the PSU?
