Computer won't turn on. PSU is fine.
Last response: in Systems
Hi, 2 weeks ago I built my very first pc, everything was working fine, no problems until today.
I was using the computer 8 hours ago and when I tried powering it on today, everything turned on for a split second and then powered off, and it has not been working since.
I did the "Paperclip test" on my PSU and it seemed to be working fine with the fans spinning.
But still after plugging all the components back in to my PSU, there is still no signs of life.
I don't know what caused this to happen and need advice on what to do, or what hardware might be faulty.
Thanks

Ok, I ran some tests and found out that when i touch the CMOS with a screwdriver, everything powers on for a split second, then powers off. Motherboard LED lights up for a split second also , so I think the motherboard is ok. Also I have breadboarded It, so it is not short-circuiting. But still really need help with fixing this.
