PC wont start

[Vyrum]

Hi everyone, I’ve been having some issues with my PC lately (past month). The main issue is that I turn on my PC one day and it doesn’t fully start but I can see it getting power. The aesthetic lights come on but the fans won’t move and you can hear the PC trying to start like a car that won’t start.

First thing I did was remove CMOS battery on the mobo for about 20 seconds and put it back. PC was fine for a day and I shut it off at the end of the day like normal.

Second day it’s doing the same thing again so I try the same method but it didn’t work. So next I remove my HDD and SAD and try to power on without it. PC comes on and so do fans and I get to BIOS. Put my drives back after and then it powers on just fine. Works for the next few days.

About a week ago it does the same thing where it won’t start again so I try removing my drives except this time it didn’t work. However for some reason when I removed the cover for the case where all my cabling is, I powered it on and it was just fine. Which made me think if it could possibly be cable management? So I fixed the cables so the cover fits back on smoothly and the PC is fine.

Now today it won’t come on no matter which method I try, and I’m not sure where to go from here.

(EDIT) This morning I took another look at my PC and checked all fans. When I attempt to power on the PC, all fans are off EXCEPT the PSU. So that made me think it could possibly be my PSU acting up. I checked the power switch on the mobo and disconnected it and reconnected it. Now the PC turns on fine but I get that feeling that this is just going to be a bad cycle if my PSU is having issues.

So what is your power supply?

The first thing I do when a computer doesn’t want to turn on is try a different power supply.

What warranty do you have on the PC? It may be worth checking if you do have warranty and if so return it.

The PSU information puts up an instant red flag, for a GTX 1070 you need a quality brand 500W PSU (preferably Gold efficiency rated) that has a minimum of 33 amps on the +12V rail, your specs list a no name Bronze efficiency rated PSU which would be bad for any computer but even more so with the hardware that you have.[/color][/color]
