PC Wont Power On - Power Supply Good

[phantom552]

My PC won't turn on; I hit the power button, and not a single thing moves. Not even a fan.

I do, however, have the power light on the mobo, and I took the PSU out of my PC, and put it in another one, and that PC booted right up.

I've reseated my video card, sound card, ram cards. I also swapped out the power switch on the front of my case. Still, my computer refuses to power on.

Any ideas?

Have you had any beeps lately? Can you hear any hard drive when you press the button or just nothing? Any other light apart from the MB one? Is this a new build ?

No recent post / runtime beeps or behavioral changes, not a new build, and there are zero signs of life when I hit the power switch. Not even a fan twitch or a hard drive noise.

All I did was power down the PC (it did work before this) to remove some dust that had built up on the case fans. Then when I went to turn it back on, nada.

The only lights that show on the mobo are the power and reset buttons (Asus P6T Deluxe v2) and even pressing the motherboard's power switch, I get no signs of life from the power supply, case fans, hard drive, or any other component.

get your pc to a bare minimum config, maybe something has shorted out.

make sure you have your ram in properly.

The RAM is seated, and Ive tried powering it on with bare minimum hardware, and still nothing. I'm pretty sure something will need to be replaced at this point, but what could cause something like this to happen?

sem PSU caused that .. not enough power for your motherboard + VGA

since his psu powers another PC it is likely the motherboard that is faulty.

Hi!

Try to remove the motherboard battery for a while. I had the same problem earlier, and removing (resetting) the battery fixed it. Something wrong with the BIOS.
