PC won't turn on

My PC won't turn on, no beeps nothing. I buy a new power supply thinking it was the power supply still nothing. Which the CMOS battery still nothing, Not a beep. I don't want to buy a new motherboard n it's not a motherboard problem. What do you guys think?

@Kendy_2020 , welcome to the forum.

If the motherboard has failed you will normally see bulging capacitors:

Also, it could be the memory. It is difficult to test since it appears there is only 1x8 GB stick of memory installed.

Thanks man, I’ll check the capacitors. If it was the memory wouldn’t I hear some beeps when I turn the PC on. I do have two sticks of 16gb if ram in there.

You are welcome, @Kendy_2020!

You are supposed to hear a BIOS beep code error if the memory has failed, but strange things happen. I recommend removing both sticks and replace them one at a time. The single stick should be installed in the slot closest to the processor. If it boots with one stick the memory is good.

@Kendy_2020,

I just have to ask... what is the model number of the PSU that you installed ?

How long was it operational after you installed the RAM modules ?
