Computer Issue

Hello guys,

I have an issue where when i start my computer nothing lights up not even the fans or the start button and i can hear a constant beeping noise.

It is a gaming computer if you need my specs i'll list them.
My motherboard is an MSI.

That sounds like something with the PSU. Replace it to check. Choose a one-rail one with the right wattage.

I tested my PSU with the paper clip method and you were right, it doesn't start up and makes the beeping noise, i'll replace it with another one and i hope nothing got damaged in my computer.
