I have been away from my house for a few months and I recently have retuned to find that my gaming rig isn’t working. I have taken it apart at have started to diagnose the problem, it seems that either the ram is dead or there is a defect in the psu. Every time I hit the power button the fans do one rotation and stop, no monitor post or anything. Below is a video showing the problem and what I think is wrong and why I think so, let me know what you think and any suggestions on what I should do.

Might be a bad PSU, do you have access to another one for testing?

Try another RAM stick while you're at it, just in case

I don’t have access to extra parts I’m trying to find some now that I can afford or see if a friend has any.

Don't buy anything before you find out what's actually wrong with it. Can you take it to a computer store? Maybe they'll let you use some of their parts

I could see if there is a computer store around where I live, I stay out in the middle of no where.

Might be the PSU then, try to test it out with a different PSU before you buy a new one

Alright I’ll drive into the city and take all my stuff up to a Best Buy and see if GeekSquad will let me test using parts that is at the store.
