Question

Pc wont boot - MSI motherboard

Apr 26, 2020 2:19PM PDT

So I have a pc that doesn't boot. When i press the power button the power supply turns on for hald a second and then turns off. No fan spinning in the case. The only other thing i see is the EZ debug light on my motherboard. MSI motherboards have a ex debug system that lights up one of four LEDs that corresponds with a component. In my case, the RAM led lights up. I have removed the ram but the same problem occurs ( power supply on and off). I don't know what to do so any help would be really useful.


SPECS
- MSI Z370 Gaming M5 motherboard
- 2x RipJaws 4GB ram sticks
- EVGA supernova 650 g3 power supply
- Intel i3 9100-f CPU
MSI 1050 ti GPU
