My computer is not booting I changed my power supply, how do I remedy this?

[yomen999]

My computer is not booting after I changed my power supply (it broke down for a unknown reason) for an older model (Antec Neoeco NE550M). After I changed my power supply and plug everything where it was suppose to go. I am wondering why is that, do I need to change my power supply for a newer model?

Also, when pluging all my connectors, I think I broke one of my SATA port because it is not showing in my BIOS and it is very loose. Do I need to change my motherboard knowing that I have two Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive.

Thank you!

My build:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400G 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI B350 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine 64GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Hard drive: (Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive) x 2
Video card: Gigabyte GAMING GeForce GTX 1080 8 GB Video Card
My older power supply: EVGA 750 N1 750 W ATX Power Supply
My new power supply: Antec Neoeco NE550M

So are the status leds on the case coming on?

Check if your old power supply is in working condition by shorting the green and the black wire terminals. Follow this : SMPS Check

Just have to put back 24 and 4 pins cables firmly to motherboard and SATA power cable to SSD

NO sign of any fans spinning ? WAIT you manage to get into BIOS, that means its not antec PSU issue

you broke that sata power connector of your boot disk?

Most of us knows what exactly is on your screen, altho we cant see your display

 

[JrRacinFan]

I just want to confirm no BOOT or no POST?

 

[TumbleGeorge]

If in process of updating components you lose training settings of RAM and or other parts will take some time to new training before start booting.

 

[The King]

Since you can get into the BIOS I assume your PC is turning on?

I'm surprised your system even posts with 4X16GB RAM.

Try with 1 DIMM in A2 only or 2 DIMMS only in slot A2 and B2.

How do you know it was the old power supply that failed?

Did the computer boot before you changed the power supply?

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Well if you broke the sata port on the mother board and you can't use another sata port then yes you'll have to replace the mother board sadly

If the sata on one of the hdd's is broken and it's the os drive then yes you'll have to reinstall windows on a new hdd/ ssd.

You forgot to say what exactly happened to the original power supply.
Exploded ?

No it did not

 

[eidairaman1]

No it did not

Did Status LEDs come on?

Did it fail POST?

 

[Bill_Bright]

No it did not

Not booting is different than not turning on. You have not really explained where, in the boot process, does it fail.

As eidairaman1 asks, did it fail POST (power-on self test)? When you press the power button, what happens? When does the startup/boot process fail?

Might be able to resolder it

 

[eidairaman1]

Might be able to resolder it

Considering how clumsy he was to begin with, He could cause more pcb damage and would need a professional

And he hasn't responded since yesterday so really doubt he will return.

You or me can do it but I seriously doubt OP even has a soldering station or iron at home, and if he's never used one before that's a nice way to end up with a pool of solder shorting all of the pads and contacts.

^^^^^^
This is like asking a random guy on the street to help in a surgery. Chances he's a surgeon are astronomically low.

 

[Shrek]

Fair enough

 

[Bill_Bright]

Like nobody has never accidentally dropped something, made a silly newbie mistake, forgot to reconnect a connection, pinched a wire?

Jumping to conclusions about skillsets, coordination, or tools the OP may or may not have really isn't making anyone, or the site, look good or helpful.

I sure know I don't walk on water. And I've made stupid, costly mistakes too. And I have the skills, knowledge and tools.

And the OP came back less than 2 hours ago.

For problems like these, it's best to call Pooter-Rooter. They specialize in both PCs, plumbing, and colonoscopies. No matter what your situation is, you're sure to get screwed.

Not really.
My mindset is simple: when you can't afford new parts or spare components don't exist in your country you're extremely careful when doing something, because if you mess up that's it, no way to get a new one anymore.

I apply that to everything I get my hands on, other so called technicians are reckless and don't worry at all if they break something, after all they can lie and tell the client "it was broken already" and have him pay more, and replace it with a lower quality/wrong aka "it looks similar enough" part.

While I can make simple single-side PCBs and come up with circuits if I damage something like a mobo or HDD control board chances of repairing it are slim to none, unless the damage is superficial, repairing a SATA port on a motherboard is complex and most techs wouldn't do it because it's easier for them to pay for a SATA expansion card than spend some time fixing it. 1st gen standalone ports are the easier to replace but also the most fragile, then manufacturers had to come up with stacks, 90º ports and other bs that overcomplicates things.

It is said patience is one of my virtues. I see art in machines and electronics, and no oddly specific request from a client is odd enough for me, if there's an idea there's a way.

NO sign of any fans spinning : My fans are spinning

I was just unable to lunch it like it was not booting

I was mistaken, it is booting but I am not able to lunch my windows

It is not starting my Windows, when I press the power button everything goes fine but my windows is not starting

Sounds like a fresh OS is needed...

 

[yapfei]

MSI B350 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard have 4 SATA connectors

2 are used by Seagate HD, 2 are unused

Hook the boot HD to any of empty sata conector

computer will not boot if the boot HD is dead (it must aleast appear in BIOS)

Fixed it for you ... ;P

To me it sounds like a dead hard drive. It sucks ... sorry to hear but double check bios setup like suggested and go from there. Even if it does show in bios, I would still look into replacing it cause it could be on the fritz. Just noticed you mentioning the connectors on your motherboard are broken. Cheapest way to get out of this situation is by installing a sata controller card that has a bootable volume function.

One like this that mentions using a drive as a system disk

Once upon a time, I ran into the same problem. I had updated some components in my rig, including a new PSU, and when I got everything put together and pushed the power button... nothing.

I held down the panic as best I could. I disassembled everything, checked all my work, and carefully reassembled all the parts. Still nothing.

Removed just the new power supply, reconnected the old one... and the rig booted. Hooray, all of the other upgrades are okay. But still, do I have a dead-on-arrival PSU?

As I sat there staring at the rig, running from a power supply sitting next to it, I looked closely at the new/installed/non-functioning unit. The little power switch on the back was in the off position.

I closed my eyes, said some words that would have gotten my mouth washed out with soap as a child, flipped that switch to ON, and proceeded to re-re-reassemble the new rig. This time, everything worked.

The moral of the story is, check the basics. And don't follow my assembly steps too closely.

OS must be on hdd with the broken sata port
Might be able to swap sata ports and see if it boots then.
