So this morning I went to hit the power button of my ~2 month brand spankin' new PC and nothing happens
. Never a happy day.
My initial guess is the power supply unit, but the last time this happened to me it was a fried motherboard (6 year old PC). I know the issue can be caused by a few things but the main ones are PSU, Motherboard, or hard drive?
The first thing to do is check all the cables inside and out to make sure everything is plugged in. But does anyone have a list or steps guide on what and how I should check the different parts to find the problem?
Unfortunately I don't have spare parts to double check things with, like an extra PSU or anything like that.
Gotta love when this happens 45 days after I have all my parts. And everything had been working fine until today.
