My PC Won't Turn On After Unplugging It—What Should I Do?
Asked by

I accidentally unplugged my PC while it was running, and now it won't power on at all. When I plug it back in, the RGB lights on my RAM light up, which indicates there's some power, but it doesn't boot. Here's what I've tried so far:
1. I unplugged the PSU and held down the power button for a while before reconnecting it and trying to turn on the PC again.
2. I reset the CMOS battery.
3. I performed a paper clip test, but it showed no signs of life, even though the RAM lights are on normally.
I'm feeling a bit lost on what to do next and would really appreciate any suggestions!

It sounds like your PSU might have issues, especially since the fan doesn’t spin when you test it. The RGB lights working doesn’t necessarily mean the PSU is fine, as sometimes it can provide power for lights but not enough to boot the system. You might want to consider testing with a different PSU if possible.

First off, check if your monitor is properly connected; might sound basic, but it's easy to overlook. If your motherboard has integrated graphics, try connecting the display to that instead. It could help to see if the system is recognizing the display at all.
