After a power outage at home, my PC seems to have lost power. The RAM sticks light up when I try to turn it on, but the fans and other LEDs don't respond at all. I've already swapped the RAM sticks and tried plugging it into different outlets, but no luck. I did notice that for a brief moment, the fans and lights turned on when it was plugged in. Does anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue?

It sounds like your power supply unit (PSU) might be toast. Power outages can be tough on hardware, especially if you weren’t using a surge protector. If the PSU is dead, it can prevent the system from powering up properly, even if some components are still lighting up.
Yeah, definitely check if you had your PC plugged into a surge protector. If not, there's a chance some of your components might have gotten fried. It's a good idea to inspect the PSU first since it’s often the first thing to go in situations like this. Just a heads up, if your GPU was connected, it could be toast too.
