Hi there!  :)

 

So like the title says: My PC won't Start  :unsure:

 

When I plug it in it just doesn't wanna start.... The start and reset button on my ASUS hero motherboard light up but they don't do anything... also the start button on the case doesn't work. And my PSU AX860i has a self start button when I press it, my PC starts up for like 0.5 seconds...and now I don't know what to do :( Ps: I also hear..like the sound of electricity flowing through my PC....if you know what I mean...

 

Does anybody have any ideas? Thank you for helping!

Yea, when I press the button on the PSU for the 1st time it cliks and does nothing, than the second time it starts for..... 0.5s... -_-

oh right i forgot to tell you what...

 

Ill bet money that the PCI-E is set in the wrong way :). I.E the splitter is in the psu while the non splitt one is in the card ( the xpin + 2pin. ) idk how to explain this lol. just change them around i bet that this is the issue

if it doesnt work im afraid you will have to pull it all apart and try to boot up witout the case and with only the comonents youneed to try and troubleshoot down the issue you are having, but it sounds like the psu is failsafing so you wont fry something.

hmm... yea it doesn't work... I think I'll just experiment for a few days and if it doesn't work out I'll try calling someone. Ps. is there a way for me to kinda.....test if there is something wrong with the PSU?
