Is your custom built computer not turning on? Building a customized computer can be very rewarding, but it also means there is plenty of room for mistakes. If your custom built computer has difficulty turning on it can mean a variety of different problems. Consider each of these issues to troubleshoot your custom-built computer’s start-up issues.
Faulty Power Supply
Your PC may have a broken power supply or a power supply with inappropriate wattage. You can use a website like eXtreme Power Supply Calculator to determine the necessary PCU wattage. Test your power supply by pressing the power button on your PC. If the green light and fan turn on, then your power supply is working. Evaluate other computer parts to find your problem.
Motherboard, PCU, and RAM
Assuming the power supply works, a PC should boot with a sufficient motherboard, PCU, and RAM. Try replacing each part to determine the source of the problem.
