Question

When I turned my PC on to play it suddenly shut down I thought it was because of an update because it came back with a blue screen that only happened when the power goes out but then it came back with a light blue LED color from the fan to the font after 10 sec the blue inside stay on but the one outside turn off and a blinking orange and white comes out 3 orange and 5 white. I changed the CMOS and double-checked the RAM, and PSU it is just green i changed the outlet i never seen something like this. any solution?

Have you tried a reset by unplugging the system from the wall then hold down the power button for 30 seconds. Then reconnect the power and try to boot again.

You more than likely have a faulty PSU. Try a BIST and see if it passes.

@Vanadiel​ 3,5 Power Rail Failure: EC ran into power sequencing failure That is the one.I see if can upload a video from the start so u can have an idea of the problem

It's likely the board, if the power supply test passes.

@Vanadiel​ my Worse fear was the CPU but the board was the second one because they are the most expensive component even if the PSU was the problem is not much around 180$ But thank you for all the information I guess I will have to send it to Dell for a full diagnostic and see how much it will be $$$
