Hey guys, so after 7 months of owning my PC - it just suddenly stops working, before I take it apart, I want to check if I'm stupid enough to be missing something obvious.

 

I had my YouTube and Steam opened, until I got a phone call from a friend who asked to hop on PS4 to chill out. So I do, and I just turn off my monitor, leaving the computer on.

 

2 hours later, (now) I try to turn on my PC and it's not working.

 

Here is what is happening:

 

The PC TURNS ON this includes the fans, and one light on the MOBO lights up (Audio Boost). Then I realize a Blue LED is constantly flashing over and over again. So I turn off the PC, and turn off the PSU. Boot it back up, and the Blue LED is gone, however the fan and Audio Boost light remains the same. 

 

None of my GPU, or CPU Cooler Fans work.

 

Monitor is completely fine and working, just doesn't recognize any source of input being in... 

 

Here is what I tried:

 

Unplugging it and plugging it back in... 

 

Turning off my PSU and Back on again

 

Turning the PC off and on

 

Replugging DVI Cords, and everything else really (No, I don't have HDMI on my monitor)

found out what that light mean in your motherboard manual

 

Like I said, the LED light is NOT there anymore...

 

I checked my manual, and all it is an "MSI Light"

 

The Debug LED, in which would light up incase it is wrong (Looks like an "88" when unlit) is not lit up.

 

It's as if power is going towards my case, and monitor, but not the PC itself.

OKAY just make sure thats okay

i think you most probs have something wrong with your powersupply

 

Yeah figured, that if it transfers to the case and monitor, and not the MOBO it has to be the PSU...

 

I'm going to take it apart probably this weekend, and check it out... Thanks for your help though.
