I am playing games and suddenly the pc just lost power and shut downed ...
When i try to press the power button to switch it on again...no respond at all

I opened the tower casing unplug every cable
Only left Power cable..
Then i try pressing the button again .
The Processor Fan spin for 1 sec and stopped
The video card fan not spinning(no sound)

I unplug video card ..start again...same thing ..only processor fan spin 1-2sec(no sound)

I unplug RAM and video card...same also(no sound)

What is the problem ? Should video card fan start spinning at the same time with the processor fan ?

Roger dodger - bad PSU or motherboard

98% of the population is asleep. The other 2% are staring around in complete amazement, abject terror, or both.
