Windows 10: Computer only partially powers up and then does nothing.

Today I got home and hit my mouse button to pull my computer out of sleep mode. Usually it powers up and I hear all the fans kick on I get my usual beep of approval from the tower and on comes the screen. This time the computer for only a fraction of a second seemed to be turning on then everything stops and the fans stop moving and I get nothing.

There is definitely "some" power being sent through the system but not enough to turn the computer itself completely on. I am "assuming" this is a PSU problem but I am looking for some other opinions before I run out and buy a new PSU.

Also, my system uses an 870 watt PSU. I have a classified 980, over clocked quad core i7s (turbo boosted), and 16GB RAM. I only point this out because everyone asks for specs.

In regards to replacing the PSU (assuming it is the actual problem) can I fit any of the modern 870 watt PSUs into my computer or are there things I need to be aware of? The prices of PSUs seem to have gone down drastically since I last remember and due to the low prices it kind of scares me to order the stuff I was looking at.

Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

Lost Power, now PC won't boot. Powers on and clicks.


I had tried both of those steps. Neither worked. I have a replacement power supply on order. Should be here on Monday. Thanks for the suggestions.

 

Windows 10 power buttons not working.

Hi Gerry,

I would suggest you to try the steps below and check if this helps.

Step 1:

I suggest you to run the Power troubleshooter and check if it fixes the issue. Follow the steps given below:

You can run the Power troubleshooter to adjust your computer's power settings. The Power troubleshooter checks things like your computer's timeout settings, which determine how long the computer waits before turning off the monitor display or entering
sleep mode. Adjusting these settings can help you conserve power and extend your computer's battery life.

• Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard and select
  Control Panel
• Type Troubleshooting in the search bar on the
  Control Panel.
• Click on View all on the left navigation pane.
• Click on Power.
• Click on Advanced on the
  Power dialog box and click on Run as administrator (Enter the credentials if required).
• Click on Next and follow onscreen instruction complete the Power troubleshooter.

Step 2:

Try to restore the default power plan settings and check to isolate the issue.

• Press Windows + R keys on the keyboard to open Run command.
• Type powercfg.cpl to open the power settings.
• Click on Change plan settings beside your current plan.
• Click on Restore default setting for this plan and click on
  OK if prompted.

Let us know the status of the issue to assist you further.
