Pc wont turn on after I turned it off with the mains (wall)

Just because the paper clip trick works does not mean the PSU is OK. It simply meand it puts out enough power to run a fan. On start up, the psu is under much more strain. Try this, take out all the ram and start the computer. Of course it won't start, but you should get a serise of beeps meaning there is no ram. But, that also tells you the motherboard is working as it should. Do you have on board graphics? If so, connect the monitor to on board gramhics and make sure the monitor is set to the type of input it is given (VGA, DVI, HDMI) The monitor should have a menu fort the type signal it receives.

Hi,

I have taken out the ram, hit the power button and got nothing, no beeps or anything else just the same green Led lights up. Will removing the cmos battery help in any way? as this is a startup issue with either the Psu or Mobo.

Thanks for the reply guys,

I will do what you stated Essenbe and remove the ram to see if i get any beeps, I will also try what you said Paul, will taking the cmos battery out effect my bios setup or anything else?

It will revert it to the default settings that the board came with when it was made. If you have made any changes since then you will need to enter the bios and set them again.

Ok Paul going to try it now, Post back in ten min

Alright guys,

It worked, thank you Paul. the problem was it was in hibernation mode when i put the new monitor on and my compter just came off a hibernation issue. Anyway thanks to everyone for their input.
