PC doesn't want to turn on?

noied

My PC was running fine up till I went to sleep last night, not sure what caused it as the PC had been off, and there was no power outages or surges that I know of.

 

I have a Asus rog strix 470x-F as my motherboard, and as of right now the only thing that shows up on my board is an orange light. 

 

Would this be a ram problem? Or something else?

Can you tell which the no. Of the led light that is on, I think there must be 4 led lights. If you could tell then it would be easy to determine what is causing the issue.

Its the standby light. So I'm confused even more now that it doesn't have an issue besides the power button not working?

Try shorting the power pins to start the pc.

Just tested this and doesn't seem to turn it on.  

 

I can only assume at this point my PSU might be dead? I can't really think what else it could be.

Can you send a close up pic of the Mobo?

Of the LED or just mobo in general?

This led just means that you Mobo is recieving power.

Your next option should be resetting the bios

Btw does anything comes on the display or the components such as the cpu and cabinet fan start when you press the power button?

Nope, I get nothing when I press the power button or try to short it. Fans don't spin, nor does the cpu fan. All that I get is the normal mobo RGB and that one orange standby led.

So I removed basically everything off of the computer and currently only the PSU CPU and RAM are plugged in and still nothing I'm convinced my cpu is dead at this point, not sure how I'd be able to check the mobo either.

See the instructions I sent you before. Your pc doesn't need to be plugged in for doing it

I'm using a Ryzen 7 2700x I'll try what you mentioned and see if that changes anything.

I tried that and still nothing. At this point would this just mean the CPUs dead? No way of testing this at the moment though.

I don't think the cpu is dead because your whole system even the fans are not getting power, if the cpu was dead the fans would still work. It should probably be a faulty Mobo or psu

I believe that I am facing exactly the same problem. In my case I don't have a led to indicate anything. When I try to power on the PC (short or power button) nothing happens. I still have the warranty of the mobo, but I am not sure if is it the problem or the psu.

 

My relevant specs are:

Processor: AMD RYZEN 5 1600, CACHE 19MB, 3.2GHZ 3.6GHZ MAX TURBO, AM4
MOBO: GIGABYTE B450M GAMING, AMD AM4, MATX, DDR4 REV. 1.0 - TOT TRIB. 151.04

PSU: Corsair 600w
