my pc that was built 2 days ago suddenly wont turn on
my specs are
ryzen 5 2600
rx580 8gb xxx gts by xfx
asrock b450m pro4
g.skill 16gb 3600mhz ram
512gb ssd
had an apevia prestige 600w 80+ gold now im switching it to a corsair cv650 +80 bronze

so i builded my pc 2 days ago and it was working fine apart from a driver issue that i fixed and was working fine and then when i was playing forza horizon 4 my pc randomly shutted down suddenly and it wouldnt turn on again. when i disconnect the psu and connect it back, when i try to power it again the fans on the pc spin for like .1 second and then turn off immediately after. i was checking around the pc and everything seemed normal. no smell of burned cables or anything and did some testing and found out that when i unplugged the gpu from the psu my pc turns on with all the fans and rgb and everything but as soon i reconnected the gpu to the psu the pc will do the same fans will move for .1 second and nothing on the pc would turn on but without the gpu connected on the psu it will turn on fine.

right now im returning the psu for a refund to get a corsair with 650w idk if its the psu or the gpu.
i connected the gpu with the psu pcle cable did that caused the smoke?

probably. the pcie slot cannot deliver as much power as the extra connector (which does not go through the motherboard). however, i am thinking the gpu was already bad...when it went bad it probably took out that part of the original psu. once you put in a new psu which didn't go bad something had to give...and it was likely the power along that second connector which made it possible to smoke.
thanks, to all of you for the replies, after much trial and error turns out the culprit was the PSU. Amazingly one of the modular plugs had a dead terminal and was not giving power thru the cord, I tried another one of them and boom, GPU read. Seems like GPU was receiving only half the power it needed to fully be operative. With one plug it did turn on and fan blew but it was not functional until the second plug gave the rest of the power. Rediculous lol Thanks all who replied, never even thought of trying another terminal until i started trying to do stupid random things. Now to send back this damn PSU lol

I have an HP Pavilion 4500 laptop and it won't turn on. I've tried everything to get it to turn back on. There are no flashes or beeps or anything when I hit the power button. Also, before all this came up, my charger wasn't charging correctly. It would turn on then turn off repeatedly. Then one day, my laptop shut off and didn't come back on anymore. I haven't been on my laptop in about 4-5 months now. Could someone please tell me what might be wrong with my laptop?

you havent used it in almost half a year!!!! get yourself a correct charging unit for it that works properly and charge it. leave it out in a warm spot for a day before hand though. it sounds like its gotten very cold internally and also all the battery power has seeped away to nothing. this happens with rechargable batteries after a while. of course you wont get anything when you've got a dead battery. sounds like the charger you have already may be defective or your current battery is defective at least.  

At the other end of the scale though it could be that you laptops power supply unit has become defective and maybe that has blown.  

Rule out the simplest options first of it being the charger or battery. if theres no joy take it down to a local computer engineer and get them to have a look. be prepared to spend a little dosh on it.



btw what r your laptop specs?? might help us.:D last update: 
the ps4 is now working properly! 
the problems were a shorted capacitor on the backside of the board leading to the power management ic, as well as the control pin for the power supply 5v connector not being soldered on properly. i found flux residue around that connector and checked i… thanks for the support! <3 you guys are really great, so many offers of help these last few days!

unfortunately we aren’t quite there yet. :frowning: this issue is a root problem with the trifecta of the processor, engine and windows. we have fixed the issue with the game freezing during the cabin… Hi Ohforf,

We understand your SSD stopped responding sometimes and after a power cycle, it starts to work again.

 

For this situation, we do recommend to you the following <https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25348> firmware version link to install to the SSD and fix this situation. For this update, you need to create either a USB thumb drive or a CD, once you run it and install it, please let us know if the issue was resolved.

Regards,

systemctl poweroff

the second one is:

shutdown --halt now

and then pressing the power button lightly.

for more ways of shutting down your computer, see this excellent cough, cough article:
