PC Doesn't Turn on Sometimes

Minty649 · Oct 16, 2014

Hi guys, So every so often my computer doesn't turn on, but i could come back a few hours later and it would turn on fine. i just want to know what could be causing this. Obviously the first culprate to look to is the power supply, i haven't had it long so i could send it back. But could it be anything else? motherboard maybe?

When it 'doesn't turn on' does anything turn on at all (fans) or nothing?
Is the system make any strange noises. Have a look at the Psu internals (through the mesh) and see if you can see anything broken, scratched, excess glue, etc.

Nothing at all, no fans work that are plugged directly into the psu. Also i can tell if it is going to work as there are lights on my GPU that tell me that power is getting to it. But there is nothing when it wont turn on.

check to make sure that the wall socket is not loose or faulty as well.

Reseat your power connectors, and also both ends of the power cord, especially where it fits into the PSU. Sometimes that one is not as firmly in place as it may appear.
