I just replaced my power supply as my last one stopped working out of nowhere. I made sure to carefully reconnect everything. I've only had the computer for 6 months. It was my first build. Everything went very well after I replaced a defective set of RAM. About two weeks ago my power supply seemed to fail. I was out of the room when it happened but when I returned I noticed that all lights in my computer were off. I pulled the PSU and tested it with the tester that came with it. The fan didn't spin or show any signs of power so I concluded it was definitely dead. I bought a newer nicer power supply and just installed it today.
After plugging everything up and getting the computer reassembled I turned the power switch on. All the lights started working again (case lights, graphics card lights, etc). All the fans started spinning (CPU, GPU, and case fans) just like they used to. But even after letting the computer sit idle for half an hour it never booted up. I immediately took the monitor to another computer to test it, and all that showed me was the monitor is working properly. I plugged the monitor directly into the motherboard, but that didn't change anything either. I've cut the computer off and on by hand to no avail. I've been going through the steps on the sticky here on this forum but no matter what I seem to try nothing is showing on the monitor. I didn't unplug anything but the power cables when I pulled the old PSU out, and the computer was working perfectly fine before it died. Can anyone help me please? I've had so much bad luck with this build that its very disheartening me.
Edit: Sorry. Missed linking my build out of frustration
