PC wont boot

Status
Not open for further replies.
Yesterday my computer crashed randomly while gaming and when i restarted the pc to check if that were the problem my pc didnt boot back on. I tried booting my pc without the graphics card and using integrated graphics from my processor and it worked. I got told it was my psu that were the problem. Today i went to buy the corsair RM750 psu and i connected it to my pc and the fans starts to spin but i get no response from my monitor. I tried removing the gpu and testing the integrated graphics agian but that didnt work either this time. What could be the problem?
 
Step 1) Reset the CMOS by removing the on board battery. Remove the power cord, earth yourself and remove the battery.
Press the on button a couple of time to drain all power. Battery back in Power back in. Test. without the GPU
If failed
Remove new PSU . Put old PSU back and test without GPU if ok
Good chance you have not connected all the cables on correctly with the new PSU
Reinsert new psu and double check all connections
 
I am not 100% sure what cables i should connect but correct me if im wrong: PCIe is for the gpu, the 24-pin goes into the motherboard and the EPS 8pin that i split into 4+4 because my motherboard requires 4 pins thats for the cpu.
 
A little update: I did what you told me by removing the battery and removing and draining the power. Then i turned the pc on and its working, should i try agian but now with the gpu attached?
 
For the record and so that it is clear that the OP was not just randomly told to go and purchase a new PSU but was also advised to get the GPU tested first, from the previous thread of stayhb here

OPs reply #35;

I just tested it without the graphics card and it worked with the integrated graphics. I am still gonna buy a new psu so i can use my graphics card but im still suprised it worked.

My reply #36;

Why?

It was explained in my reply #34 that the PSU could be too weak to power an add on GPU but is enough for the MBs integrated graphics.

If you want to use the PC for gaming you need an add on GPU so it goes without saying that you need a new PSU.

Now that you know the PC itself is ok you need to get the present add on video card tested in a computer that has an appropriate output and quality PSU
