Desktop Computer Won’t Start Up After Cleaning

  • 29

So today i decided to clean my computer after finishing up I went ahead and closed up my computer and it wouldn’t start. I went in and found that my power switch wire to my motherboard was disconnected after putting it back in it started up i reconnected my side fans and as i was about to close my computer up it just shuts down and wont start back up. I don’t understand whats wrong with it and i need some help figuring it out. i have an asus x79 motherboard and when my power supply is connected there is a green light on the top right hand corner signifying that there is power to the board yet it wont start

  1. OK then “I think” we can assume this is pure coincidence but still probably a hardware fault. Sometimes tricky to prove from afar but first question “is the PSU fan running”?

    Harping back to the cleanup – often there are groups of very small connecters all together in one lump, looking like a single plug. It is easy for one of those to go adrift (after all the wires off your fans clearly prove this sort of thing can happen). As per #1 have a darned good look at these in a strong light – it would be a shame to move to bigger things if something as simple as a little connector is causing this issue.

    Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks
