Running into a strange system behaviour. Strange for me anyway, haven't had this type of problem before.
System (Desktop Build - See below) was running along fine and then just stopped. Like I had held in the Power Switch until it stopped. Its primary use is a media server running Plex and at the time it seemed busy (CPU kicked up) but when checking it was only doing MS Search Update and MS Media Player Connection Server was running but I was not actually using anything. I had just plugged in about 5 min. earlier a phone that I was planning to copy some files to. I did notice a small static arc when plugging in the USB cable to front panel port however but it didn't immediately affect the system if that might be the potential cause.
Anyway - Pulled PSU - tested fine (paper clip test with only fan plugged in)
Put in new known working PSU from another system anyway. Hooked everything back up.
System tried to start, ran for perhaps 4-5 sec. (no beeps that I remember) and stopped, then tried to start again very briefly on its own for a split second and stopped again.
Any attempt to get it turn on fails. I pulled the case power switch connection off MBO and tried to jump the pins quickly just to see if simple switch issue. No effect. I do have power to components. GPU LED comes on as well as an LED on the MBO when turning on switch at PSU. I moved to another area of house for testing, different circuit, powerstrip, etc. Same power cord though but it did test ok with old PSU test.
I'm guessing the MBO. Wondering if pulling everything off of systems except single DIMM and CPU will be of any help to confirm?
Any guidance from someone with similar experiences would be greatly appreciate from this very knowledgeable community....
