Hey guys!

I'm actually new to this forum so I need your help.

I bought a PC from a Local pc store . Which was a great pc for me because I don't play games that needs a good PC but I could run BattleField 1 with lows graphics(The quality for me wasn't really important..I always play with poor quality haha)
And One day my pc won't open..When I try to turn on the computer he didn't even respond..So I try to google ,ask friends and I conclude that somethings it's wrong about my pc(Thanks captain obvious). When I open I see a green light on my motherboard which I guess is a good sign?

Anyway so people told me it could be the PWR.S or the motherboard. I'm not a computer expert not even close to it. and my pc local store ask 50$ to just look at it.(I dont have money for that..)

So please help me about it. and If the problem is one of those parts Would you guys help me finding good parts and cheap. I want to run BF1 at Low,LoL, Csgo hmm some mmos I don't need to crazy 2 1080 gpu things. I want something which will be cheap and good! ( I hope it's not too deep)

So here are my specs:
Mother Board: Asus M5A78LM LX PLUS
Processor: AMD six core 6300
Ram; 8go ddr3 1600mhz
HDD:Seagate 1tb 7200rpm
GPU:Gigabyte Radeon R7 260 2GB
I bought this 877$ (100$ window include)

so in the end If i can resolve my issue I would buy the parts you guys will tell me ( I am from Canada btw) and I will maybe look like linustechtips how to build a pc hahaha

Thank you for your time,

First never buy pre-built.
Secondly do you still have a warranty if so RMA it.
Lastly if your set on fixing yourself disconnect all things except mobo/1 ram stick/cpu (connect gpu if you have no onboard).
If it does not post then chances are its the psu. you can try another ram stick but otherwise you'd normally swap out the psu.

What do you mean "If it does not post"?

Post is when the pc boots up and you get a prompt for the bios

there is a red dot on my case that appear and it wont turn off ( I try with an another power supply

Do you have skype/discord so it would be easier to guide you?
Also who's multi are you I mean you literally joined the site for this.

Actually the Front Panel was the problem I replug it correctly.

After that I took an another pwrs which was 500W And it works the boot device appear. The only problem is that this Power supply doesnt have the plug for my GPU

Well if the front panel was the problem...maybe the other power supply will work.

Actually the opening dot appear and disappear and shutdown quickly so i think the power supply is destroy.

May I have suggestion of 600W Power Supply that fits with my graphic card

/e This is a very good power supply...you won't need 600W.
