Question

PC power has gone?!

Mar 17, 2017 4:09PM PDT

Hello,

So this evening I went to turn on my PC, it started to boot up like normal, and then crashed after five seconds. I tried turning it on again but the power wouldn't come on. It's been like this all evening So far I've tried changing power cables and that doesn't seem to be an issue. Ive also opened it up and had a look for loose cables, or cables that have been warn away in case there was an electrical short, but found nothing. Not sure what happened.. can anyone advise me on what to do or how I can test what to replace?
