Perform a Hard Power Drain and Reset

Tools Needed: None. Safety: Ensure the PC is powered off and disconnected from the wall.

1. Unplug the power cable from the back of the PSU.
2. Press and hold the physical case power button for 15 to 30 seconds to discharge stored electricity in the capacitors.
3. Reconnect the power cable directly to a verified wall outlet.
4. Attempt to power on the system.

Success is confirmed if the system lights activate and fans begin to spin upon the next power button press.
