Check and make sure power cables are properly seated.

System specs?

Is this a new machine or was it previously working?

I need help guys. my computer wont start up. the hdd activity light will turn on when i press the power button but it will not start up. any ideas.

We will need more details. Is the system new? Did you recently modify it? What was the last thing you did before it stopped working? What are the specs of the machine?

Resetting CMOS battery *might* clear things up, but honestly there just isn't enough information to make a guess at here, so it is a shot in the dark

Everything looks good. It just that the hdd activity light only turns on when i press the power button but it does not power on

Way to ignore like every question that was asked. Come on, man, you have to help people help you.

 

What are the hardware specs of the machine?

 

Is this a new build, or a build that was working before and now doesn't?

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Mate, that tells us very little. We need the details we requested in order to help you

Not very specific, but it's a start.

Do the fans spin when you press the power button to turn it on?
Have you reset CMOS?
What were you doing right prior to it not working?
Have you modified it at all?
