My tight budget computer will not turn on. I've checked cables, PSU Switch is on, and is plugged up.

 

Specs

FX6300

8GB Avexir RAM

Some Gigabyte $40 mobo

XFX 250X

And some shitty Thermaltake PSU

Sux... Sounds like something has failed. Try disconnecting all the unnecessary components and see if it turns on then.

it might be a bad PSU if the motherboard light isn't on can you test it on another pc if you have one?

^Answered.

 

Actually before I use bias to draw conclusions, lets do some troubleshooting. So I imagine your motherboard has a onboard GPU(Radeon 3200, in the 780 chipset), remove your GPU(250X) and see if this does any thing. If it doesn't, then remove all drives(SSD/HDD/ODD) and try. If nothing still, then unplug all of the PSU connections, and use a wire or a bent paperclip to ground the green pin to a black pin on the 24 pin connector(this will "jump start" your PSU). If jump starting the PSU doesn't work, then its dead and never buy a Thermaltake product ever again.

*Risky click of the day*

No power=dead PSU or a poor wiring job or dead mobo.  I'm gunna go with the PSU.

Does that mean one or more other components are effected too?

Ill try the last two but removing the GPU still does nothing. Ill update soon.

It could be any of the following:

 

Dead PSU

Dead motherboard

Bad connections

Dead surge protector or other electrical problems at the outlet.

Try resetting the BIOS and plugging the power cable into another socket.

Well, if you tried the wiring again then it's either the mobo or the PSU.  Is the fan in the PSU even spinning when on?

When it actually did turn on, yes.

Might be the mobo then, or the PSU is not properly sending out the power.  Sounds more like the mobo is the issue now.  Or, did you get it working?

No like seriously nothing does anything. And to be sure it isnt the surge protector, everything else that is hooked into it, works.
