Hello,

Recently my pc no longer powers on. At first my thought was the psu was tje problem since it was a power issue, but I did the paperclip test and it passed, however it does not spin in my pc. This is where I think my Mobo is also dead. My graphics card no longer emits a light telling me it's receiving power, and on top of that all lights and fans do not turn on when I power my pc. I have contacted evga (psu) about the issue and they're helping lots however msi (mobo) has taken 5-6 days and still hasn't responded to any of my emails.

I have done the "min-config" setup but still nothing powers. I don't receive a beep code or something like that dive it's not even turning on ( new to pc building)

TLDR: either mobo psu or both are faulty. Send help

That "Paper clip test" is not a definitive test, tells you very little about PSU operation. Either have it tested on proffy equipment or change for known good one.
