    Unplugging power cord and holding the power button. PC won't turn on

    Okay so I attempted to fix a Windows 10 usb problem by following a month old forum. The instructions were:

    1. Unplug the power cord from desktop computer.
    2. Hold in the on/off button for approx. 10 seconds until the light goes off. This kills the reserve power.
    3. Unplug all of your USB cords from the back of your machine as well as any flash drive or any other USB
      device that is plugged into your computer.
    4. Insert the power plug back into your computer and power it up. Allow it to completely load everything
      that it needs to before you do anything else.
    5. Now start plugging your USB devices back into your computer one at a time while waiting for them to
      indicate that they are recognized. Do this with each one of your devices until all have been recognized.
    6. Now right/click on computer or This PC and choose Manage / Device Manager /USB Serial Controllers and
      check to see if any of them have the yellow tag. They should not have if the problem is corrected.

    Unfortunately I only got to Step 4, when I press the power button nothing turns on. So now I'm at a complete loss. The only thing that seems to turn on though, would be the lights to my led keyboard when I plug it in. Anyways, how do I fix/turn on my PC again?

    Turning on/shutting down issue

    Hello,
    I cannot turn on my PC at all until I unplug something, like when I try to turn it on it doesn't work, I unplug the Display port then I turn it on and after it turns on I replug it.
    I also have problems with shutting down, I sit the pc down from Windows and it shows me the "shutting down" thing and then it suddenly shuts off like it's been unplugged from the wall.
    I have my AC, phone, monitor, router and PC.
    And I'm using some extensions and adapters because the wall plug is pretty far.
    By the way I replaced my Mobo CPU, ram and GPU because the previous build had other problems.

    Thanks in advance.

    When i turn of my pc i have to unplug it, wait and then plug it in and it turns on.

    PC refuses to turn on

    Ok, wtf is it again...

    Came to my PC today and it was turned off. Which is odd since I have it on 24/7. I try to turn it on, nothing. Unplug, plug back, turn on and it clicks, fans spin for a second and instantly turns off.

    Cleared CMOS, nothing.

    I've unplugged both EATX 8 and 4 pin connectors and PC turns on and all works, system fires up, fans are spinning but mobo doesn't do anything since it doesn't have power. As soon as I plug in 4 or 8 pin EATX plugs, all I get is a click in PSU and instantly turns off.

    So, PSU apparently works, what could this mean? Dead CPU or dead mobo? Or something else entirely?

    Gonna try TUF diagnostics with my phone now...

    TUF Detective goes to "CPU Initial" and stays there the moment PSU clicks.
