Computer won't start

[Bocki]

Hey, does anyone here have an idea, why my PC won’t turn on. As you can see in the attached Video, all the Fans start up and i can hear the parts working, but the PC wont actually start.
It will remain in the state shown in the video indefinitely.

At this point I’ll be thankful for any idea.

Thanks upfront.

Lets start here so others can assist.

Does it make any beeping sounds?
Anything come up on the screen?

Power supply failing might not have enough power for everything any more.
Saw the 4 pin connector going to the motherboard did not see the 12 pin power connection.

What are the system specs
Make and models
Age of parts in the system approx is ok

Events leading up to

[Bocki]

There’s neither a beep nor anything on screen.

Motherboard: medion ms-7708 ver 1.2
Graphicscard: medion ms-v220b
Harddrive: Seagate barracuda green 1500gb

The Computer itself is about 10 years old, but was repaired in 2015.

After reseating the ram and graphics card i got it to post and boot, and was able to “log in”. When a programm started it crashed and New reseating wont help

What was repaired.

Could be the power supply giving out.
Could be the thermal paste needs replaced.
Could be the display card.
Could be the motherboard.

Is there onboard graphic’s? Depending on you CPU that may work.

The Mainboard was swapped for a New one
No onboard graphics

If the MB was a straight swap it should have an onboard BIOS error speaker.

Remove both sticks of RAM from the MB, hook up to the power and press the case power button, let us know if you get any error beeps.

[Bocki]

Already tried it. Both for ram and the graohics card i get the corresponding beeps.

Do you have any ram installed perhaps? I think it wont boot up without any ram

Yes, two sticks next to the heatsink/fan

[Rustys]

Do you have a different PSU that you can try that is the same or more wattage?

You have traced all the cables and made sure that they are not loose. Try reseating them and see if that helps.

The power button (power indicator) what color is it does it flash and in what pattern?

[Bocki]

Unfortunately no other psu, reseated all cables.

Anything that you had already tried should have been mentioned in your OP.

Getting error beeps with the RAM removed normally suggests that the MB and RAM are ok and that the problem is with an item of hardware that gets checked after the MB and RAM as part of the power on self test (POST) the next thing that gets checked is the graphics solution and being that you are getting no display your add on GPU is implicated one way or another.

Can you describe what actually happened for us.

Software such as Windows can crash and when it does crash you get a BSOD and when enabled a crash dmp is generated.

Hardware failure such as a weak power supply and/or overheating are not software related and when a computer freezes, suddenly turns off or the screen goes jumbled the behaviour should be described as the “computer shut down unexpectedly” etc and not as having crashed as the latter implies a software issue as opposed to an obvious hardware issue when described properly.

Having the correct info means that helpers will not be looking for a software issue when the problem is clearly hardware related.

Thread closed due to lack of feedback from the OP.
