I decided to clean out my CPU fan as it was clogged, when I assembled everything again it won’t turn on 🙁

It’s an old desktop PC. There are no lights glowing on the motherboard at all, though there is none specifically labelled “power”. Just CPU, RAM, BOOT. None of these light up, not even a flash when it starts.

I have reseated the RAM, CPU, power cables. Removed the GPU to check.

The cord leading in to the PSU works but I don’t have a way to test the PSU itself or the out cables, but I have reseated them at each end.

This PC was working fine before. But with no lights on the motherboard I suspect either the mobo or PSU?

Mobo is asrock x570 PSU is silverstone 650w strider gold S series

Any help appreciated!

    Mind trying another power socket just to eliminate potential environment problems?

      Did it, and also did a paperclip test. PSU seems fine, it’s getting power.
