PC wont start up

[Apocalipse]

Hey guys, i took a look in the readmr section and found no help for my problem.

the computer does not start up. I flip the PSU switch evything lights up but on the start button nothing happens. The problme i think is the ram i had this issues a while back always being resolved by some mystical way.

Non of the hardware is faulty i shuted it down and tried to start up and nothing happens.

P.S Excuse my spelling im on my cell. And if you need the spec please visit my profile

First thing: check your RAM. If you have multiple DIMMs, one could be causing it not to turn on.

Tried all sorts of combinations of all the stick in all of the slots in 1by1 and 2by2. Nothing seems to cut it.

Do you have any GPU installed? I can't tell. I'm using tapatalk.

[Apocalipse]

Yes a gtx 660 ti asus top.

[Godlygamer23]

Do you have another system to try at all? The best thing I can think of is taking your system out and building it bare bones if possible adding components one by one, each time attempting to power on the system. In addition, are you aware of the paperclip method when it comes to starting up a power supply?

[Apocalipse]

Yes, and i think its not the psu since whrn its plugged in the mb leds lihht up as does my usb hdd.

[Godlygamer23]

The power supply may be fine in standby mode, but that doesn't mean it's able to pull out of it into normal mode. But, try rebuilding the system the way I mentioned.

I appriciate the help. But are therw maybe any other ideas. I preaty bent on that the problrem is the mb or the ram since this random issue happens a lot and the after a while it just goes away. And i think that he psu is not the problem since i had the system stable and running 2h ago then i noticed that 6gbs of 12 were used by windows and wanted to fix that by rearanging or reseating the ram and bam. This happens.

You can try testing your RAM. Remove all of the DIMMs, test one, and if it doesn't work, try the another one. But one at a time.

Triead that already somethinf i could ask id, should i plug out the psu beffore and after every switch of the dimm?

It's recommended. The system is getting power, unless you turn off the power supply and let everything discharge slowly.

Ok thank you, seems il be wasting my life for a while, one stick at a time

[Godlygamer23]

Troubleshooting isn't always fun. Especially when you want your rig to just run. Let me know the results though.

[Apocalipse]

Id like to add that i left the PC to discarge the whole night even taking the battery out nothing happaned seems i have to continue with the dimms.

[Apocalipse]

Did the paper clip method the PSU is eorking

It only takes a few minutes to fully discharge. I should've mentioned that. Have you switched out all the DIMMs? Since your power supply is working, you can discharge the entire system by holding down the power button with the power supply left on, but unplugged.

[Apocalipse]

Hm thats an intesting thouht. And yes i tried all the dimms all the slots. Il try two other stick that i never used before from abother system to see eill it work.

[Apocalipse]

Tried new ram sticks in all slots. Ot doesn't want to boot up. What i noticed, is that among many of the leds on my mb there is one called dram that flickers briefly each time i flick the psu switch on.

[Godlygamer23]

Send your motherboard in for RMA.

That would be an option if jt was under warenty and if this wasnt a shit of a country. And if i was not going on a trip tommorow.
