I'm pretty new to computers, so I'm in a bit of a jam here. I recently bought a Lenovo P500 and tried to install Windows on it. I switched the boot mode from legacy to UEFI, but then I learned that my GPU doesn't support that. I attempted to reset the BIOS by removing the CMOS battery and using the jumper. To do this, I had to take out the PSU, and now that I've put everything back together, my computer refuses to power on. The PSU seems fine since the green light is on, and the motherboard and GPU are lighting up too. However, when I press the power button, absolutely nothing happens. It was all working fine before I made these changes. I did a similar reset before, and it worked without any issues. What should I do?

It sounds like you might have a connection issue or something might not be seated properly. Double-check that all cables are connected securely, especially to the motherboard. Sometimes, when you mess with the PSU and remove components, it’s easy for things to get a little shaken up. Try reseating the RAM and GPU as well. If that doesn’t work, you might want to look into whether you accidentally flipped any switches on the PSU itself while removing it. Good luck!
Thanks for the tips! I'll check all the connections and reseat everything to see if that helps. I appreciate it!
