Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
You recently built a computer from components and all of the components are known to be good; however, when you power on the new system, you have power but no Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) beeps and the system won’t attempt to boot. All of your connections to the components are verified as good and all the components are installed correctly. What do you check as the mostly likely source of the malfunction?
A
A motherboard-to-case short
B
The system BIOS settings
C
The complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) battery
D
A failed hard disk drive
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When there is no beep on startup, try unplugging the connected disks and USB devices. It includes the printer, USB hubs, external devices, etc. Then try booting the system and allow the system to boot completely. After that, start connecting the USB devices and disks one by one to recognize the faulty device.

Detailed explanation-2: -It could be that your CPU is overheating. One of the telltale signs that something is amiss is if your PC powers on briefly, and then abruptly turns off. It’s possible that your CPU cooler is not making sufficient contact with the processor, and that your PC is turning off to prevent any damage.

Detailed explanation-3: -To fix a Windows PC that won’t turn on, first try ruling out a faulty power supply or outlet. You can also try checking for beep codes, display issues, unusual BIOS settings, or troubleshoot the PC in Safe Mode. Other fixes include disconnecting non-essential devices and checking for loose components and malware.
