HALP - PC isn't booting.

[AlTech]

So I accidentally kicked my PC a little bit and then the computer froze and since then has refused to boot or even go to the bios.

 

What's going on? What do I need to do to fix it?

 

Please help!

 

EDIT: To be more clear. All the components appear to power up when the PC is turned on, However, no video is output, the HDD sounds like it's waking up from sleep instead of a cold boot and frankly there's no BIOS or Windows logo or anything.

 

I removed all storage drives and there was no difference....

That kick probably undid a connector inside the computer. I would, for good measure, take off all cables from the PSU and the graphics card, then put them back together.

Try re seating all your connectors to see if something came loose and clear the CMOS to see if you can at least get a post screen.

No no. That's the thing. ALL the components appear to power on WHEN I try to power it up.

 

The fans on the GPU spin, all the fans in my case spins, Heck even the HDD makes typical HDD noises.

I'll give you an example. Say one of the connectors on the GPU came loose. The GPU would power on, its fans would spin, but sensing that its power delivery is unplugged, it would refuse to give out video in order to protect itself. It would be wise to reseat it.

Take out your graphics card and plug in your cables to the motherboard

I've practically reseated all the Sata Connectors and the GPU power delivery cables.

will do

wait lol. I was about to turn off the system so I could take out the GPU but then the System Appeared to power itself down abruptly.

Sounds almost like a power issue, maybe try changing out the PSU if you have another one on hand.

Gonna try that now

If it doesn't work try going to the bare minimum needed to see if you can at least get the system to post.

Why the hell did you kick your computer...... Check cables

Spare power supply worked less.  Some of the case fans didn't turn on at all.

That doesn't sound good, was it hit really hard sounds like something is up with the motherboard if it's doing weird stuff like that and not properly distributing power. 

[jackson-taliana]

take your component out of the case and build the pc on your motherboard case using no hdd or fans etc swap components one by one to determine what it is

I also reseated the tiny mobo battery, seemingly to no effect......

We need to know why you kicked it and where

Ummm, there are only a couple of other things I can think of testing if it doesn't work you might have killed a component somehow when it got hit... 

 

Try taking off the CPU cooler and reseating the CPU, run the system with just one stick of RAM, and check to make sure if your have a BIOS on a chip that is fully seated and if you have dual BIOS switch over to the second to see if that makes any difference at all. As menttioned try a different cable or monitor connection, hopefully you can get a post and go from there to diagnose any issues.

I GOT SOMETHING!

 

It's an error beep.

[AlTech]

Nvm I fixed what was causing the beep. But now the PC doesn't stay on for long. It stays on for a few seconds and then seemingly turns itself off.
