My pc wont start

Cosmin2013 · Jul 15, 2017

So every thing was fine then I found a fan and decide to add it to my case ok all went good started all went ok . Then I removed some metal for hdds to get better airflow the front panel got on floor like 2 times I tried to unplug all the fans but it doesn't turn on how do I turn it on or what should I do (also my psu light above the pci express cable it's on)

You added a fan and that went fine? Then your front panel ....got on the floor? Not sure what you mean by this. Are you worried that you yanked on power/reset button cables or something? You could check them where they plug into the motherboard and at the front panel, to make sure no wires are hanging loose.
What doesn't turn on exactly? Fans? Computer doesn't start up?

So I put the fan connected then powered up . They I unplugged the power cable so I can take some slots of hdds to get better air flow .yes the front panel fell on the flour but not too hard when I made the cable management and power up the pc won't start but, the light on the gpu is on. Iunplugged all the fp pins on mb the put them back no result even unplugged the psu mb connector no result how can I solve this

Ok, unplug the fan you connected (it shouldn't be this but lets make sure), and try restarting. Are there any signs of life? Does it even start booting? If not, try unplugging your PSU entirely from your motherboard and doing a paperclip test,

to check if your PSU is dead.

I unplugged that fan didn't start up , even unplugged all the fans and didn't start up. About the psu I can't do it right now but I bought the psu last week so that shouldn't be the problem but I will see in s few hours . Any other causes?

You could have fried something with static electricity when installing the fan. Doesn't happen very often but a potential problem.
You could have also unknowingly moved or yanked at one of the wires, and now things won't start up without it.
But this is all guesswork and hard to troubleshoot unless you start crossing things off of a list. PSU first else any other troubleshooting is impossible if you can't even get to bios or get any error beeps. Once you have that working, you check the mobo, replace the cmos battery (to reset bios), try and see if it boots at all, if any error beeps (these can indicate memory, cpu etc). Lights on mobo help as well if you've got a mobo manual to tell you what they mean. What color, are they flashing, manual will tell you how to interpret them.

I will come tomorrow with the results because I'm not home right now

Cosmin2013 · Jul 16, 2017

So I did that paper clip test and the psu fan worked so the psu it's ok

I'm thinking you have a front panel wire issue, most likely a messed up wire somewhere

Cosmin2013 · Jul 16, 2017

Can I start the pc without the front panel button ?
And for the wire I need a new case?

landon_3 · Jul 16, 2017

Yes where the front panel wires plug in you just take a screw driver to the pins and itll turn on. Unless you can find the front IO harness for your case, yes you have to get a new one. What model is your case?

Cosmin2013 · Jul 16, 2017

My case is segostep fighter c , so for that I need just to put the screwdriver on the power pins?

landon_3 · Jul 16, 2017

Cosmin2013 :

Yes. Also I can't find replacement parts for your case so you'll need a case. If you'll give me your budget I can give you some recommendations

Cosmin2013 · Jul 16, 2017

My budget is like 100 € also if it's s bit more it will be ok just to work . Can I replace the reset pins with the power pins ? So I can start from that button

landon_3 · Jul 16, 2017

Cosmin2013 :

You can't get replacement wires for that case. The case I use a recommend is the Cooler Master Masterbox 5. Its a nice case for around $60 USD

Cosmin2013 · Jul 16, 2017

Thank you man I really apreciate that u replied so fast and helped me . I will consider buying another case because that cooler master is not in stock right now and also I placed the reset button cables in the power pins and it turned on .
