Try powering up with these devices disconnected. It should at least give you some beeps, and the fan should come on, even without a keyboard, mouse, or monitor connected.Ģ) Unplug all hard drives, floppy, and CD drives. One of these devices may have a short, and cause the system to fail.Īfter everything is unplugged, try to turn on the system. You may have been hit with a surge or high-voltage spike.Ī few suggestions, if you haven't already done:ġ) Unplug all external devices, including monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Were there any power outages, fluctuations, brownouts, or noticeable surges recently?ĭo you have the system connected to a good surge suppressor? What do you think could be the cause of this? Any ideas?ĭoes anyone in the house use any heavy motorized equipment (table saw, grinder, etc)? But still computer is not booting up and nothing on monitor. Also green light on motherboard turn blinking green light. However!.(I dont know if this is worth mentioning or not) it might be helpful to make the following known: When PSU is connected, there is green light on motherboard.Īlso, when I lift 20 pin power connection to motherboard( littel bit not compeletely), PSU fan, processor fan runs and get orange light on cabinet.

Obviously, none if this has brought my PC back to life so I am wondering what could be causing this? The PC was not moved or anything recently and no hardware / software changes of any sort have been done recently. Things that I have done to try to fix this: In addition to the machine being "dead", I noticed that there is a green light on the motherboard that remains on when the machine is plugged in with the PSU turned on. No fans/drives attempting to boot up or anything, even momentarily, just a completely dead machine. Tonight I went to turn on my PC and the machine was "dead" so to speak.
