    Shipped computer wont start

    Hey there! So I just moved cross country so my computer had been shipped to the new place. The GPU had been removed and shipped separately as well. When it arrived I had put the gpu back in as I was shown (I didnt build this computer myself). It worked perfectly when I left and was basically brand new. But now once I plug everything in and try to turn it on the only thing that turns on are the RGB LEDs on the motherboard. I’ve tried checking cables and reseating the RAM and such, but I’m not the best at the computer stuff so any suggestions or help would be welcome.

    The box when it arrived was also almost in perfect condition, so I dont think it was any shipping damage.

    Hello Alio087,

    A quick check for you to do;

    An often made mistake that is made and especially by those not familiar with PC hardware, make sure that you are connecting the screen to the GPU and not one of the video ports on the motherboard.

    If the above is done and ruled out.

    Please provide information about your computer, is it a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP, if a brand name, provide the model name or series number (not serial) if a custom build post the brand and model name or number for the CPU, MB, the RAM (including the amount) add on video card if one is used and the PSU (power supply unit) providing these details will enable folk to better assist you.
