[SOLVED] PC not powering up

Today I switch on the desktop, and the fans spin for a second then cut out, and there is no power. What gives??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Hey Slush,

The first thing I'd check is the PSU (power supply unit). Maybe that's starting to go out. And make sure all the connections are still connected and then try replacing the PSU. It could be a number of things but that would be my first check.

You should've done this earlier but if it still there, check whether there is a smell of something burnt. If there's none, check your cable. Maybe you tripped on a wire or something went wrong.

Do a test check on your power supply unit (PSU) and see whether it works or not. Worst case would be that your whole comp is affected and it'd definitely be the worst case. But i'd check for the PSU first as i am pretty sure its nothing serious

Maybe the fan broke. Or something happen with your power supply. Who know if your power supply broke or burn? Check it first yourself. But if you not sure, just ask for techician to do that.

i would suggest that you check your power source first..check the fuse whether it still works..otherwise try to replace with the new one..then check your cable connection from power source to your desktop..if everything in order check your PSU.
