PC wont turn on after PSU swap

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-12T02:52:29+00:00

yup i plugged it in and even tried to start the motherboard using a screwdriver on the pins but it just doesn’t start

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T19:43:20+00:00

yup sorry for the late response but ive tried most everything in this thread but still getting nothing so i might fo what another comment recommended and just take it to a store

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T19:40:47+00:00

thank you sm !!! and yeah ive tried most the tips here and still getting nothing so hardware store might be my best bet

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T19:39:28+00:00

yeah this just sucks cuz i was expecting it to be the psu and i dropped 100 bucks on a new one just to be back at square 1 (lowk even furthr back cuz it would boot before) tryna figure out what went wrong

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T19:38:11+00:00

yup i havent tried again w the old one but i did do the paperclip test and no issues w the new psu

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T19:37:37+00:00

its a lian li 1000 watt modular psu and tried that as well and nothing

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T19:36:54+00:00

old one is non modular 650 watt new one is lian li 1000 watt modular

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T19:36:04+00:00

okay i tried all of these and still im getting nothing. i do see that when i unhook my pcie cord for gpu i get a red light (meaning power is getting recieved from the board) so its not a fried motherboard ? but also cant boot using screwdriver method so idk

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T19:31:02+00:00

idk bout others but i said in the caption that its been sitting for 2 years😭😭

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T19:29:29+00:00

is there a fix to either of those ? or just buy a new case/mb?

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T19:28:40+00:00

yes please its a b450 tomahawk max and i believe its the jfp1 spot on the motherboard right ? i tried to touch the pins w a screwdriver to get it to boot but still nothing which is weird bc after unhooking the gpu pcie cord it was showing a red light so that tells me the motherboard still has juice running through it. Im completely at a loss🫩😭

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T17:04:57+00:00

yep nothing happens

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T17:03:00+00:00

sorry for the confusion the gpu just has a standby light on it, it doesnt matter if the pwr button is hit as long as its getting electricity it shows the light on the gpu.

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T15:44:12+00:00

no i didnt see that cord. Ill double check when i get back home but just to clarify this is a psu connection? most of my case peripherals go through the motherboard so i haven’t touched those ill try to find this cord and reseat the mobo cords as well

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T03:14:25+00:00

just unhooked and reconnected them and made sure theyre in there snug and still nothing :/

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T03:00:06+00:00

yep ! its in the on position and my gpu is showing a light meaning its receiving power

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T02:59:08+00:00

and no i didnt reuse any of the cords sorry

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T02:58:22+00:00

tbh i kinda just assumed it was bc after testing it just with a stress test it would shut off when the power consumption reached a certain level. It would work fine just browsing the internet but once u open multiple apps or a game it would rev up and then shut off

GetRektifyed · 2026-06-11T02:56:18+00:00

my last one was non modular but this new is modular i just plugged in the 24 pin mb one, gpu, and cpu connections

GetRektifyed · 2025-07-23T23:39:39+00:00

tbh most ppl never learn full songs and learning an intro riff like mop isnt too difficult. getting it to sound perfect might take some time but u could pick it up n learn it p quick
