Please help !!! Computer won't start anymore !!

[RusKoVx]

Hi, I opened me PC to remove the dust in it and when I've closed it, my PC wouldn't start. It does the action of starting at the beginning but shuts down right after. Anyone has an idea why it does this ? Is something broken? I don't know if this is related but my PC randomly crashed before this happened.

How did you remove the dust from the PC :p?

I just took a soft tissue and cleaned the fans around my PC

Could it be that perhaps while using the soft tissue and not an air blower, the force and angles you were working with while cleaning could have disconnected a power cable from the CPU for example with your elbow? I dont see how disconnecting some fans could have not allowed your computer to run normally albeit a little quieter and a little hotter.

If I send you a video of the PC that won't boot, would you be able to see what's wrong ?

Its hard for me to say, you would have to share a video showing the interior of the case, with proper illumination, while focusing on the motherboard and from a close distance so that we can see if a connector is missing which isthe most probable cause.

 

I dont think an ESD incident would happen but nonetheless, were you using antistatic wrist or gloves? You could always show the pc attempt to boot vid.

Id suggest openingit up again and make sure everything in plugged in properly. 24, 8ping cpu and 6+2 pcie connectors. Then check if the sata wires came loose or something and if the ram are knocked off the slot

Well as said above by tp95112, you should first check if all cables, especially power ones, are properly connected and if they are, you could try removing RAM modules and leave only one to see what happens.

OK,your solution seems legit, I've removed one ram and the PC started properly but it was written  that something has changed in the PC.

What should I do now ? Put the ram back and try again ?

You said the computer started properly and did it even reach the Windows loading menu or it stopped right after the POST and didnt go further from the motherboard startup? If that RAM stick is faulty then it is the cause for the bootloop and it wont allow you to continue using the computer if put back on.

It didn't reach the windows loading menu. This is what it says when I removed the ram.

Do proceed using F1.

But I don't understand why it wouldn't work with my second ram ? It was working for perfectly earlier before cleaning the dust out. How can I use my PC with only 4 gb ram ?

Usually RAM has a lifetime warranty so you can get a replacement or at worse a fix for your current module. Well it is for now the apparent reason for the whole booting failure and the only reason i can see possible is an eletrostatic discharge that happened to damage the circuitry of the module.
