Default Computer Cant Start..

Hi... I would like to seek help from you fellow masters... Im currently having this problem of unable to "ON" my computer. Few days ago, I restarted my computer and then on booting bios it just hang there and no display at all. Then I hold on to the power-button for few seconds to off it and then I turn it back ON again but this time the computer fail to turn-on. Everytime I try to power-on, it turn-on abit and immediately cut-off. Eg. Like a normal car suppose ignite without fail. But this time the car cant start but trying hard to start.

Anybody encounter such problem?

Well, it sounds like a PSU problem... or a short circuit somewhere.

If you are not using a case, reseat the cards and check to see if any screws fell onto or got inserted beneath the motherboard.

If you have a spare PSU, try that.

Check the PSU. Borrow a PSU from another, then test it. Or it could be the CPU casing broken power switch - try shorting the ON terminals on the motherboard (look at the manual first!)
