Computer does not turn on

[Lordy]

I finally switched out my motherboard after a couple months. [laziness helps.] and had everything semi-working today. (computer turned on, got to windows boot screen then restarted)

so anyway, since it restarted i googled and well, i probably misread or since its 4am i'll reason it that im too tired. anyway, some people said test the ram if windows keeps rebooting, so i took out one ram, and windows still kept rebooting (goes to loading screen then restarts)

so i took out the other ram and tried putting my original piece back in, but i didnt fully seat it and when i turned my computer on it just turned on, shut off right away, and now when i try to turn it on, it doens't work. (of course, i may have gotten some wires loose, since the working area was tight) but i retightened all my wires and my computer still doesnt turn on

is it probable that my psu is dead? i did turn it off and on like every minute

Try both pieces of ram and reset the CMOS.

ive tried both pieces of ram one at a time

would resetting the cmos really help in turning on the computer?


unless your giving me help to get past the perpetual windows rebooting, in which case i think i need more help in actually turning on my computer now

Sounds like we may be sharing a common issue, though I have not been able to get my comp to the Windows screen (just after bios loads) since yesterday, and have spent all day/night working on it to no avail. I hope someone shares some enlightening advice, else it's to the Pro's it goes. :-/
