My PC will not turn on I tried to unplug the power cord and plug it back and nothing seems to be working? This is the first time something like this happened I just bought in January too. HELPPPPP

Any lights on the graphics card or motherboard ?  Any fans try to spin up ?

If no to the above, then make sure the AC  outlet has power and you're plugged directly into the wall outlet, not surge protector for now.

Check the toggle power switch on the psu.

Open the side cover, rig unplugged, and check all the connections to the mobo, even reconnecting them to make sure.  Check at the psu also since your psu is modular.

Unplug the video card or at least the power plugs to it and try it.   1080Ti if I'm not mistaken.

I can only add to the above to make sure the power cord is firmly hooked up on the psu. Short the power s/w to make sure it is not the culprit. Other than those, you might have to check if the psu is good. I don't know how to do that. Good luck, keep us posted.

Try removing the video card and then the ram to see if it at least gets some action.

Also check the cable from the front power on switch to where it plugs into the mobo.  Use the manual for its mobo location if you need to.   If the mobo doesn't see that momentary short from the on switch, then the psu won't turn on.  

Any lights at all, like the mobo's ready LED ? 

This could be a dead mobo or psu.  There is a paper clip check for the psu you can try, but I'd just call DS and let them help you.  The test involves unplugging the pc, unplugging the psu 24 pin and 8 pin from the mobo, use a bent paper clip to short out the green wire and any black wire on the 24 pin connector from psu..  Usually pins 15 and 16 but double check.   Then plug in , toggle the psu and see if it turns on the fan.  This doesn't check load problem. 

Or just call DS.  Big%20Smile
