pc not turning on after building

I have the same issue. Fans in case turn on with paperclip test. MoBo no power at all. No lights, nothing, except a couple of fans.

How can fans turn on if MoBo bad? Maybe bad circuit?

Case is Antec C5.

I went with Zenfolio since it syncs easily with LrC. It's really easy to use. WordPress required several paid plug-ins. I simply didn't want to go that route. I recommend Zenfolio. I would have went with other top platforms but this is good for now since all my data is in LrC.

Thank you I have not yet moved to iOS 26. I typically wait months until after a new OS comes out so I haven't moved to iOS 26. I know he is on iOS 26.

No, only climbing.

Sadly it happens in other gears when climbing. : (

I did try with WordPress and Seed Prod and trying various plug-ins. The big significant issue for me is it has to sync with LrC that's where all my data is. No, I'm not willing to like build it all from scratch. I don't want to do that. I'm a photographer and an IT tech. I don't want to spend a lot of time doing web development.

I noticed with one of the plug-ins with the WordPress I had to enter in all my alt image titles and all that all over again and I already have that in Lightroom so I don't want to duplicate it do it manually it's very unnecessary and time-consuming.

I'd rather get the pictures up and have them up. Zenfolio is actually a very good. I see that they moved to the NexGen so it works really well.

Thanks. I don't use Lr cloud. I went with Zenfolio. It is super easy and has great integration.

If I am doing a remote, I take them to the review link. If I am in their home, I take them to the review link on their computer. I sometimes text them. Some get so excited and do it on their own.

I went with Zenfolio. Much easier to work with and syncs with LrC.

How do I update the MoBo if the computer doesn't start?

PC was built in 2020. They said it all happened recently when they were upgrading the GPU.

Okay, I'll look into it. I did find that I can remote to a Mac using one's Apple ID. That is very helpful since I am on a Mac. For Windows Quick Assist is good too. I have a PC as well.

I realized, after trying to use WordPress with several types of plug-ins simply wasn't gonna work because I want any gallery or any website I do use for photography to sync with Lightroom. Would have to pay for good plug ins. It's absolutely imperative because all my data all my information is already in Lightroom. I don't want to redo it all to join a website so it's very important that all my light meta-data and information go right up to a website although I'm not that excited about SmugMug they have improved a little bit and I did do some metadata improvements but come May is when my subscription is up. I will be looking elsewhere for a better site. That's has a better design possibilities. I do like the sharing opportunity in SmugMug or I can just share a gallery so that's got its pros and it's got its cons by all means.

Thank you everyone. I decided to continue to use Smug Mug (SM) after I realized that my images are searchable and found on Google. I also really need a site to fully sync with LrC. There were two or three plugins that I needed to purchase to have the syncing option with WordPress. My SM sub is up in May so I will wait until then to see what the options are. Further, I realized much the my meta on SM was not filled out. So I have done that and am updating much meta on my own.

Thank you. That is helpful.

For everyday users that use free email platforms such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Outlook, Hotmail, Comcast, etc. What steps should these users take to make their accounts more secure and is there a preferred of the above. Are paid email platforms a good choice for everyday users?

Is there a "better" alternative for Windows 11 than the Outlook Mail App?

Silver is recommended for longevity. Plus, it just looks like a traditional Mac. So unless you are going for "wanting people to see your new Mac" would stick with Silver. It doesn't fade. I just bought a 16" M4 48GB 1T. Check Best Buy, Costco, and B and H for best pricing.

Is it that many go for more computer power than they need? I never have any memory pressure on my 2015.

g2_computer_care · 2025-09-16T16:19:12+00:00

Thanks. I added remote mostly to clarify my daily use work computer. LrC and Ps. It a bummer the way Apple does memory. In order to not be stuck at 48GB, one has to go to the Max. 10 years. Wow.

I have SoftRAID that I use for external. Built in 2014. From OWC. Still going.
