Computer doesn't boot up but LED lights up

[Sash0l]

Computer stopped working randomly as i was away. I do not know the reason for it to happen.

When i came back computer was already off, videocard was pretty hot and the videocard fan was stuck, BUT!

When I press the Power button, Power LED lights up, but none of the coolers start. Processor fan moves a little bit, but nothing more.

No signal on the display either. I tried to restart it, but it didn't help.

 

SPECS:

Motherboard: N68 - VS3 UCC (Asrock)

Processor: Phenom II, am3 socket

Videocard: Nvidia GTS450

PSU: QORI SuperPower 450w

Processor fan: Cooler Master (I don't know the model specifically)

 

P.S: Motherboard was diagnosed with "blown capacitors" but it still worked perfectly.

P.P.S: I don't have much money, so i can't fix it just by buying a new PC, etc.

Clear the CMOS, remove the GPU and see if the board will at least turn on. But I feel that your PSU is the culprit, it looks shady af. Looks like one of those cheap overrated ones.

If I had to guess, I’d say your motherboard is dead, especiallly considering the age. A motherboard with a bad short will cause the problem you are describing. Worth trying troubleshooting thogh. Here’s a video that might help with general troubleshooting. Good luck!!
