    PC won't power up

    Try taking these steps:

    Completely drain the computer of any power that may be lingering in capacitors and such. Unplug the PC from the wall, and hold the power button in for a few seconds. At this time, maybe try resetting the CMOS by changing the jumper position and/or pulling the CMOS battery for a short amount of time and holding the power button again for a few seconds.

    Try reseating everything. Cords, plugs, components. There may be a loose connection somewhere.

    Follow these steps.





    1. Power off the system & unplug the power cord, flip the power switch, hard reset the cmos by removing the battery for a couple of minutes (1-2 minutes).
    2. Flip the switch & power it back on for a little bit then shut it back down (give it the amount of time you normally would allow it to boot up to windows login).
    3. Reseat the cmos battery & power on the system.


    After you've finished them all, reseat the battery & start it up. I've done this countless times. To unlatch & grab the battery, tweezers work good.

  4. Power Shortage, reset cmos, windows 10 won't activate

    Power went out, CMOS reset. Activation revoked; product key blocked!

    We got some bad weather here and the power went out. Upon booting back up I was greeted with a CMOS reset message. Loaded optimized defaults. Tweaked some things back here and there.

    Then I noticed Windows Apps refused to launch. Went to see my activation... GONE! Even worse, my product key is supposedly blocked! It was activated prior to the power going out. I upgraded from a legit licence
