Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The motherboard is the computer, so the usual symptom of a failed motherboard is a completely dead system. Fans, drives, and other peripherals may spin up if the motherboard is dead, but more often nothing at all happens when you turn on the power. No beeps, no lights, no fans, nothing.
Detailed explanation-2: -If your PC won’t turn on but motherboard light is on, a potential culprit is the power button on the case itself or the wires connecting that button to the motherboard. Check to see if your motherboard has an onboard power button.
Detailed explanation-3: -Do a visual hardware check. Check Power Supply Unit (PSU) Check if there are beep codes. Perform two quick motherboard tests. 29-Dec-2022
