My computer won't start

[Adarsh Singh]

Okay, so I was playing project cars 2 and my PC just shut down.

 

All the LED lights, on the mouse and the keyboard went off, except the integrated one on the motherboard.

 

I'm sure it wasn't overheating. Also it wasn't overclocked, neither the CPU, nor the GPU.

 

I had to shut it down by long pressing the power button, as the restart button won't work.

 

Now when I try to boot it up again, The troubleshooting lights on the motherboard are stuck on CPU. And that's it. It does nothing.

 

EDIT

 

MY COMPONENTS

 

Ryzen 5 1500x

Gigabyte GA AB350 GAMING 3

GTX 1050 Ti

Seasonic S12II

 

Hyperx fury 8gb

Can you provide a list of your components? Also, do you have any POST code LEDs on your motherbooard or any beeper?

Check the RAM slots and make sure the RAM modules are completely in. Try using only one module since that might fix it.

Already did, none of them work in any slot.

Negative for both.

 

I'll edit my post for the components.

Did you check so that the fuse didn't go off?

What fuse?

If it's in the PSU then it shouldn't allow power all together.

[Kabom]

Yeah well if absolutely everything went off in the PC maybe it would be wise to check if one the of power fuses connected to your outlet went off.

It does have power, but it just doesn't boot up.

The PSU seems a good quality one, inside components too. The motherboard has adequate power delivery for a 65W TDP CPU, so that should be fine. Does your motherboard manual say something about that troubleshooting LED on the board?

Can you try disconnecting the 1050 Ti and using the iGPU to power on the PC?

Unfortunately not.

Take off the cpu cooler and try re-seating the cpu again and then re mount the cooler see if that helps.  Don't reuse the thermal paste though you'll have to apply new stuff

he's using a ryzen.  Please read OP

Oh, I thought they had an iGPU; oh well, just try taking out the Nvidia card and see if there's HDD activity on the LED then

No they only an internal GPU when they have the 'G' suffix

HEYYYY

 

I removed the GPU and the troubleshoot LED is now on VGA like it should be.

 

Lemme try to put it in again.

 

Thanks.

So, being that the CPU gets troubleshooted first (at leat I suppose) by the BIOS, the issue might not be the processor. If you have any GPU lying around, I'd suggest trying that to see if the system POSTs. If you don't have one, try maybe plugging the 1050 in another PCIe slot, eventhough it probably won't solve the issue nor give us more information on the problem

Fucking cow mate :') it works.

 

I love you both @YouSirAreADudeSir @LionSpeck

 

Have cookies, you deserve it.

 

all i did was remove and re-install the GPU.

 

I'll stress-test this thing and see how does it go.

Awesome! Let us know if it's stable and if you experience any lack of performance or anything abnormal
