PC Won't Turn On

[fenderj98]

Hi there. other the past week i have had a faulty CPU Fan, but whilst in the proccess offixing it (I have fixed it many times before) my PC will not turn on. the PSU doesnt move so im guessing that may be the problem. and help will be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,

 

Yes that doesnt sound normal, im sure you ran all these checks, making sure that all your pc is plugged in, just run a sanity check around all the things you need to turn on/test. as for that have you tried testing your components out in an other system after that sanity check, as that sounds like something might have been broken if you have only just removed a CPU cooler and put it back.

 

Hope this helps

All of my pc is plugged in, i have even tryed using another cable to my PC from the plug that was for my tv (It was working) and that didn't make a difference. No clue what you mean by sanity check, but nothing in my pc is moving, not even the PSU, i dont have another system to check stuff with either :L and i didnt remove the cooler, just the CPU Fan sheader and the power for the CPU Fromt the Power supply :L

Hi,

 

Sorry its a phase that Linus uses, Sanity check means do a sweep of the whole system making sure anything that should be plugged in is, and anything that needs to be on is. Well the next question is rule out you psu having a random fault, test it either in another system, or try another psu on your current system, if its not turning on it sounds like some kind of hardware fault.

Ah! When unplugging the CPU Fan power i must have nudged the 24 Pin connecter! That was the problem! Thanks for the advice sir! you are much appreciated! 

 

Thankyou
