You can try a new RAM stick.
What you describe can be:- Anything overloads the PSU, or a failing PSU
- Bad memory in the low region. BIOS can't run without it.
- Bad CPU, or heat sink not in place
Disconnect the HDD and the DVD drive. (Power off, of course.)
Power on. Does it show the BIOS?
Okay, I unplugged the optical drive and this is the result;
GPU lights turn on solid green. I press the power button and everything else turns on. (fans, LED lights)
I plug in all my external hardware, (mouse,keyboard) and none of them power.
And something that I don't quite understand, is how i have my monitor plugged into the powered GPU and the monitor gets no display.
Another thing, I can turn on the computer with the power button, but cannot turn it off with the power button, i have to use the power supply to turn it off. Any ideas on what i should do next, or if there's an identifiable part that's struggling? I'm pretty sure it's the psu but idk if it could be the ram. thanks.
