So if you are using the same board that was linked some responses ago

You can rule out the case button by using the power button built directly onto the base of the motherboard.

Can you please clarify what you mean by "power supply not turning on, when i plug in the processor fan spinning"


Is the power supply fan spinning?
Does it start spinning as soon as it is plugged into the wall. Does it slow down/stop and then spin back up
Is it just the processor fan spinning and no other fans in the case
Are any lights displayed on the 2 digit code reader at the base of the motherboard when you "power it up"

What type of power supply do you have and what was the replacement

Is the power supply fan spinning?
No as i plug into wall socket the processor fan immediately spins but when i press the power number nothing happens

Does it start spinning as soon as it is plugged into the wall. Does it slow down/stop and then spin back up
Yes and currently had it on for 2 mins while typing this and it is still running

Is it just the processor fan spinning and no other fans in the case
Correct

Are any lights displayed on the 2 digit code reader at the base of the motherboard when you "power it up"

What type of power supply do you have and what was the replacement

How good are the crucial products?

Mainly SSD. I have seen a decrease in SSD prices online. Thinking about upgrading my storage.

Thinking about upping my storage and was hearing about raid software for home PC's.

How good of an idea is that?

Do you have a speaker connected (the small internal speaker that sometimes beeps when you turn on your computer)

The motherboard you linked showed a 2 digit code display at the base; or you don't have the specific model that was linked


It is more and more sounding like a failed board

For what purpose exactly?

SSDs are affordable, reliable and fast enough that I don't see the need for RAID. But there might be niche cases

He can probably use RAID 1 which does mirroring of your existing hard drive onto another one. As for the other RAID versions which combines the performance of multiple drives it probably makes no sense in this day and age when M.2 drives exists with speeds that goes up to 8GBps.

The Mirroring option is, it maintains a perfect copy of your existing drive on another one....

It is not

Cause if you accidentally deleted a file the process is mirrored (only one drive appears on the system)

Ahh ok I was thinking about it from a hardware perspective in terms of being able to still run your system even if one hard drive no longer functions. But then again cloud backups work the same as well as it will also delete the file in the cloud that you delete on your system. Hmmm....

You can actually go back to previous versions/dates of files with cloud backup

It depends on the cloud backup, I know some that once you delete that file on your system its also deleted on the cloud permanently. You can however go into the Recycle Bin in the cloud and retrieve the file you deleted but it only stays there for a maximum of 30 days. Google Drive does this. Not sure about the other cloud backups but the more business oriented ones probably do what you describe and maintain multiple shadow copies of your data.

Well I considered it for having an automatic backup for in case anything fails.

Cloud backup uses up valuable battery life from my phone during the day.

I also maxed out Google drive 15gb storage in no time.

Hey, is there any site I can order a lenovo laptop (preferably) besides Amazon and ship to Trinidad via a skybox? I think Best Buy and the Lenovo site detect "freight" addresses and you can't purchase it.
