I wish you had pointed your camera at the things you were talking about.

Recently my PC was not turning on. The lights just flashed and the fan spun for a second or two and I was afraid in case it was a short on the motherboard but found out after testing that it was my PSU which failed. It's an Antec 700W and lasted about 1 year 7 months. Thanks for sharing :)

I had to do the same thing with my second PC two weeks ago and it also turned out to be a bad PSU. Fortunately nothing else on the system was damaged. The PSU in this case was an EVGA 500w that was just one month passed its five year warranty.

The lights on my ram lights up but nothing else works. My fans don’t turn on at all. Do you know what I can do to fix it or what’s the problem?

[regvincent]

You are number 1 fixer and so easy to follow along step by step got me out of trouble many times thank you

[cliffterpher]

Thanks for the video, Brian. Love it. Just wondering how clean is your mains?

[Roadkill]

It may be a dodgy PSU or a mains problem. Always worth having a surge protector

[WrestlingFace]

Good video yes sir, reminds me of old RT lol, so fab.

Every video I find is a power supply issue. My power supply work and still the pc won't turn on. I don't how if the problem is the motherboard, cpu or ram, and no video tell me how to test it

Hmm Brian had a similar situation with my old Sandy Bridge build just recently and I went through most of what you did except I did not use a new PSU. When I tried the paperclip trick with the PSU cable I got a small puff of smoke from near the end of the GPU and thought the motherboard was shot even though it still had some LEDs showing power. To cut a long story short I found the problem when I touched the GPU and found it wiggled around in it's slot because the original plastic clips that held the GPU in situ had got brittle and had broken off leaving the GPU loose in its slot so I screwed it into the case as I should have done when I built the machine. I gave the RAM sticks a reseating and voila' the machine fired up. So it goes to show one should check cable and card fittings before you do anything else and save yourself a lot of money. So all in all a simple fix for what I thought was a broken motherboard.😄

To be honest with the discription of the fault and what with the power tripping i would have just gone straight to the psu with my multimeter, allthough i like this checker tool bri has.

First of all check/change the plug fuse it can save you a lot of trouble & worry most people overlook this.

I ran into an issue with my current PC while building it. I have a Fractal Design Define Mini C and mounted a SATA SSD in the only place where I could which was on the right side of the case, just under the side panel. This was fine till I upgraded my components. The PC kept shorting when I turned it on and I tore it apart trying to find the cause. What had happened was that sliding the case side panel on had damaged the power connection on the SSD and it was dead as a dodo! I quickly ordered an M.2 as a replacement, and, fearing I'd knackered the GPU, I ordered one of them as well. The system is fine ever since and my niece is using the old GPU in her system as it turned out to be fine. It's a GTX 980ti but suits her needs.

My previous PC had an off-and-on issue with not turning on (or rather, not booting) shortly before I built myself an all new PC. Turns out, it was that my GPU evidently didn't like to stay properly seated. After a little over 6 years of use, it just suddenly stopped staying put and kept shimmying out. It was the weirdest thing because I'm still using that GPU in my new PC (planning to upgrade if GPU prices drop due to the crypto crashes) and it never gives me that issue with this PC, so my guess is that it was the port on the old mobo.

Why does my desktop say " no hdmi signal from device and goes into standby mode? " In the background audio or video will be running. Can you tell me what to do?

[MetalCanisLupus]

[seyley]

"Cost of living crisis", can you do a video on how to make your PC have less impact on your electricity bills particularly GPU intensive applications

[Munny]
