Note for : the answers so far touch one possible cause, but the problem needs a quick hardware-elimination checklist so the faulty part is identified rather than guessed. is on the right track to check storage, but work through the steps below to rule out PSU, motherboard, RAM, GPU, and front-panel wiring before replacing parts.

  • Quick safety first: unplug the PC and ground yourself before touching components.
  • Front-panel and power: verify the case power/reset wires are seated on the correct motherboard pins. To test the switch, momentarily short the two power pins on the front-panel header with a screwdriver (only when the PSU is connected and switched on).
  • Minimal-boot method: disconnect all drives and USB devices, remove add-in cards, leave CPU, one RAM stick, and PSU. Try each RAM stick in each slot to rule out bad RAM or slot.
  • Visual and POST checks: look for motherboard LEDs, listen for beep codes (consult the motherboard manual), and inspect caps for bulging or burn marks.
  • GPU/monitor: test with a different cable, use onboard video if available, or try a known-good GPU.
  • BIOS/CMOS: reset the CMOS by removing the battery for a few minutes or using the clear-jumper.
  • If the system posts but Windows does not load, test RAM with MemTest86 and drive health with vendor tools. Useful tools: MemTest86 and Seagate SeaTools (drive diagnostics) at SeaTools.

If these steps do not isolate the fault, swapping in a known-good PSU or taking the board to a local repair shop is the next practical step.

seems like a hard drive failure to me. Test whether your hard drive is working.
