Up until you press the power button & get bumpkiss. Then you need a known good copy of half the components in the machine to weed out the bad one.
(In my case, it was the PSU. It was particularly tricky as the PSU wasn't completely dead.)
- Sakos 4y agoThat's the actually difficult part. Everybody can reasonably follow instructions to put together a PC barring any mental or physical disabilities. But if something doesn't work for whatever reason, layperson don't have the requisite knowledge or experience to properly diagnose and fix the issue. This is something nobody ever mentions when they say building your own PC is easy.

Why are there extra cables that look just like those? Etc.pp. But not being able to troubleshoot components because you only have one PC or one compatible PC is the worst.
