In the middle of playing a game my screen flickered twice and then powered down. The RGB on my mobo and ram stocks stayed on. Pressing my power button and reset button did nothing. I then tried the on/off switch on my psu. All of my rgb then turned off and stayed off.
The small red standby light continued to blink intermittently as did two small white leds on my gpu as long as the computer was plugged in and the psu was switched on. No error LED's are lit on the MOBO.
I removed the gpu and tried to boot without it, but that didn’t help either. I also installed a fresh CMOS battery, which also did not help.
I can hear a very faint noise like it’s trying to turn on each time the red standby led on my mobo lights up, but there is no other activity.
I have made no changes to my setup in over 8 months. The only thing I can possible think of is that the house has been very staticy lately due to the cold weather, although I have not opened my case in months.
Any advice? I’m not really even sure where to start at this point.

UPDATE:
I went out and bought a PSU tester today, and it appears my PSU is ok, assuming I used it correctly. I plugged in the 24 pin as well as the 8 pin for the CPU and did not receive any warning beeps and all voltages seem to be withing the tolerance. Additionally, when I powered on the PSU while connected to the tester, all of my fans powered on and started spinning, which I have not seen happen since the PC crashed. I have tested a few other PSU cables on the tester and all seem to be ok. The only cable that has given me a problem is the 8 pin (6+2) that powers my GPU (along with a 6 pin). When I plug the 8-pin for my GPU into the PSU tester along with the 24 pin ATX, nothing happens on the tester. Does not light up or make any noise. If I remove it, the tester comes on as do the fans in my computer. Nothing ever lights up on the MOBO (rgb) other than the blinking of the orange standby LED.
I haven't tested any of the other PSU connections other than those for the MOBO, so I'm going to fiddle around a bit more. At this point I'm not sure what else I should look at to diagnose this problem
