/g/i need help with my pc it shutdown randomly and now turns on for a second and turns off when i try to turn it on. Ive removed all components except psu cpu and hdd and still same result i also unplugged everything from motherboard and reset cmos battery. I also shorted the power pins with screw driver same result. I checked for short circuit signs and no smell or burn marks power supply fans spin so does everything for 1 sec then off. Please can you help me because i need this pc working to finish my portfolio for college. Thanks looking forward to your replies

Have you tried plugging it in?

Take out the motherboard, place it on a box or somewhere non-conductive, only have the CPU and 1 stick of ram installed, used the built in IGP, test with two different PSUs, if it fails to fire up, switch to another stick of ram and try again, if it fails to fire up with all the combinations of ram and PSU, you most likely have a failed motherboard.

This has worked a couple times for me OP, good luck.

Tried leaving it off overnight with the mobo battery out no luck. Im going to have some people at this workshop take a lok at it. Ive already decided on what mobo and/or psu to get if they're dead. Thanks though.

Thanks ill tell them to breadboard it and give me a proper diagnosis. The thing is it turned off randomly while idle and thats when the problem started, and it seems like a PSU issue but its turning on fans are spinning etc. So i think its the mobo which i hope its not because installation is a lengthy process

It's stalling, make sure to hold the clutch down.
install bacon
That's what you get for buying Nvidia.

Happens to me occasionally, reseating all the ram usually fixes it.
