How old is you computer? You may have to get a new power supply. The same thing happened to me about a year ago after cleaning mine out.

s-e-e-k
I tested my power supply and it works fine. I used the paperclip method and it powered on my case fans and dvd drive. So I guess its either my mobo or cpu. Anyway to check if the mobo is dead? Edit: Its a couple years old.

did you unplug your case headers to the motherboard?JigglyWiggly_
Nope there plugged in, Would it be my mobo since no lights are on? The light thats on the physical power button on the mobo is off too, so I cant turn it on that way either.

[QUOTE="darksusperia"]TC. remove your PSU and use the paperclip test along with say a molex powered fan, or some other device and check your psu works. http://www.overclock.net/t/96712/how-to-jump-start-a-power-supply-psu-test-a-power-supply-and-components

Just tested and my psu works, so thats out of the equation. What else could it be? Maybe mobo? Any way I can test the mobo?

[QUOTE="darksusperia"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="KABCOOL"] I just used a little portable vacuum to suck all the dust out of the fans. I also took out my gpu too see if tere was any dust and there wasnt, so i plugged it back in. I thought everything was good until I went to turn it on and boom nothing works. I'll try re-plugging everything in and see id that does anythig. Thanks.

Don't use Vaccums in the future, sometimes they cause trouble. Just use an air spray or even thick brush.

Get this, its better then canned air as it has no chance of residue liquid . (I have 2 of them)

Thats pretty damn cool but a little too expensive for me haha.

[QUOTE="KABCOOL"]I've checked all the wires and made sure everything is plugged in but still no power and absolutely no lights are on whatsoever. I have no idea what to do, but this really sucks. SystemsGO

 

What did you use to dust it? Try unplugigng all the wires, and plugging them back in. If you used a spray duster is it possible you got the mobo wet? I know sometimes I try to spray liquid out of it.

I was cleaning out my computer today, dusting it all out and I go to turn it on like 15mins after and it no longer turns on. I've tried plugging the power supply into different sockets and I know they work, so its not that. I have no idea what to do. There is zero lights on, so nothing indicates that there is power throughout the sytem. I. How do I approach this?
