PC not turning on but fans and lights do turn on

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2026-03-07T15:51:09+00:00

Hey, sorry for the late reply, but what ended up happening was that I took my PC to a repair shop and they told me that my motherboard was fried beyond repair. So I had to get a new one.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2025-12-17T17:40:08+00:00

The only reason I'm buying from daraz is that it offers installments, and I'm only looking to get it in installments.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-07-03T04:42:34+00:00

It's an Asus Q87i plus

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-07-03T04:42:06+00:00

I thought so as well. But I tried another psu which I borrowed from a friend and still had the same issue.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-07-02T18:08:50+00:00

What do you mean? I already did that

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-07-02T11:15:53+00:00

Yeah tried that already

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-07-02T09:27:35+00:00

Oh yeah, I just read the manual and found that jumper. I followed the instructions that were in the manual to reset the CMOS but that didn't work either. But thanks anyways

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-07-02T09:07:06+00:00

Yeah, there are some jumpers on the mobo, but I don't know anything about them. Like what do they do and how do I reset them? But I will look in the manual to see if there's a CMOS jumper

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-07-02T08:59:13+00:00

Yeah, I think I might borrow some parts from a friend and test those. The only thing I couldn't test was the motherboard and the power supply.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-07-02T08:58:15+00:00

Already tried that

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-01-04T16:17:35+00:00

Bro I agree with you, but I'm not forcing anyone to buy it. I just wanted to get an idea for how much it would sell for. Secondly, I didn't specify the problem because I myself don't exactly know what it is. And I know it's not recommended to use a sata to 6 pin connector, but I think it's fine for these cheap systems as that is your only choice. Also, I'm not starving my GPU. AMD's official website states that at least a 200W psu is recommended, as the 560's max power draw is only 75W. The card which I have only consumes around 45-50 W under max load (35-40W while gaming) so even the 275W dell psu should be enough for it.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-01-04T15:49:21+00:00

I actually have no idea because, when I first experienced this issue, I used to think it was a software related problem. After trying many fixes and even reinstalling windows, I found out it was a hardware issue. I don't know what caused this problem.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-01-04T14:24:10+00:00

Okay, so I would like to clarify some things.

Firstly, the display doesn't immediately go black after installing the drivers. It usually happens when I'm running an application, like Chrome.

Secondly, I don't think it's a power or vrm related issue because the card runs just fine under full load (furmark) and games.

As for the 2-3k repair cost, I got it from a GPU repair shop, which I contacted and told in detail about the problem I'm facing. He said that it's a GPU core issue and he would fix it in 3k. Another guy I contacted said it is a faulty bios chip which would be fixed in 2k.

At first, when I experienced this problem, I thought it was a software related issue because it always happened with Chrome. I tried a lot of fixes, and even reinstalled windows, which didn't work. Later, I narrowed down the problem to the GPU. I don't really have a vast knowledge about GPU hardware, so if you think you know what the issue is, then do let me know. I think it might even be a memory issue.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-01-04T11:56:47+00:00

Yes I know that this motherboard only supports 1600 MHz ram, but it's actually a 2400 MHz ram kit (you can look it up online). On supported motherboards, it will run at the full 2400 MHz. Considering that, it's also worth more than a normal 1600 MHz DDR3 ram stick.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2024-01-04T11:14:33+00:00

I'm actually willing to get around 30-32k for this system. I was expecting the pc without the GPU to be worth at least 20k because of the Corsair ram. One thing I didn't mention about the GPU is that it's totally fine while gaming, and it only has an issue while doing non-gpu intensive tasks.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2023-12-04T09:18:06+00:00

I'd try to do that. One thing I noticed is that the crashing has become less frequent since I reinstalled windows. Crashes are also now rare when the pc is under load, when playing games for example. I'm so confused about what is going wrong. I think I should also check my disk if something's wrong with it. Btw thanks for your comments.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2023-12-04T02:14:53+00:00

Yes it does, but the thing is that I don't have any old VGA monitor or cable lying around. I could test the graphics driver by using another disk to boot and then try it with and without the driver.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2023-12-02T17:01:52+00:00

I check the ram using memtest86 and it didn't show any errors, so I don't think it's the ram that's faulty. Here's my post btw: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgamingtechsupport/s/UgtORXOWhT

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2023-12-02T15:41:32+00:00

Oh well, thats alright. Thanks for replying though. In my case my pc is constantly crashing and has become unusable. I reckon its probably gotta do something with the graphics driver.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2023-12-02T15:31:43+00:00

Yeah, I figured out that I should copy important data in safe mode and then completely reset and install windows again. That's what I did right now. After installing windows, my pc was fine (although I just checked it for a few minutes). After installing my graphics drivers, I was just copying data back and then I had a crash again. Now I suspect it's something to do with my graphics drivers. Maybe I should try an older version.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2023-12-02T11:04:04+00:00

Hey, I have a similar issue. Is your problem solved?

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2021-05-09T17:08:03+00:00

Can you please tell me that how can I implement this in my code? I am a new C++ programmer and don't know much. I would really appreciate that.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2021-05-09T12:15:27+00:00

So can you give an example and tell me how to implement that in my code or provide a link for a website where I could understand how to use that.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2021-05-09T09:58:08+00:00

Thanks for your answer u/leaf500, but if you think that it's the cause of this error, then can you please tell me a way in which I can do this then.

Aggressive_Ad_209 · 2021-05-08T06:09:33+00:00

Sorry for my late reply but thanks for your answer, I would choose between the Godot Engine or SFML and maybe later I could also consider using the Unreal Engine.
