Hello
Before getting to the problems here are my specs
CPU: Intel i7 4770
Cooling: Raijintek Tisis Core
Motherboard: ASUS Z97M-PLUS/BR
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz
GPU: EVGA GTX970 SC
Case: Raijintek Aeneas
Storage: SSD Kingston 120GB V300; HDD Seagate Barracuda 1TB
PSU: CorsairTX550M
OS: Windows 10
Yesterday I spent the day at my girlfriend's house, when I got back and tried turning the PC on it gave absolutely no signal of life, no lights and no fans. My last contact with it was the day before and it was working like a champ. My mother said she used the PC earlier just to look at Facebook and other simple stuff and turned it off normally with no issues that she could notice.
I then noticed that the power button was getting stuck down, it has never done that before.
The motherboard and the case were bought October 2016, my old TX550M died two months ago and I bought the newer version (white sticker) of it.
Here is what I've tried:
Thinking it was just a broken power button I shorted the contacts, no effect.
Did the paper clip test on the PSU, it's working
Cleared CMOS, no effect
Reseated all power cables, no effect
Reseated memory, no effect
Checked the CPU socket pins, none bent
When my last motherboard was close to dying it gave some weird signs like sudden resets, boot loops and stuff like that, this one was too sudden so I'm afraid it's the CPU this time.
Can anyone give me any light on this situation?
[UPDATE]
Tried turning on without graphics card and changed the stick slot, no effect.
Gave up hope on fixing the problem, I will just have to find a way to know if it was the CPU or the Motherboard.
My fear is that it won't be able to find another compatible motherboard or CPU to test and I definitely do not have money to upgrade to newer gen stuff...
What a way to ruin the vacations :(
