Hi, first post here :)

I have recently built a computer and it was working perfectly fine until today when I tried to turn it on, the fans weren't spinning. I opened the side cover and saw that my PSU and motherboard lights were working fine. Everything plugged in well. Last time I used it was yesterday, no problems at all, I did some stability tests in the CPU and that's about it.
Need help urgently as this system is for someone else. (I built it)
I've tried to manually turn on the system with the screwdriver but its still not working. Might think its the motherboard issue, dunno and don't have enough money to buy a new one to check 🙁

Specs:
M/B: Asus P8Z77-M Pro
CPU: i5 3570k o/ced to 4.8GHz
PSU: Corsair VS450
Cooler: CM Hyper 212 evo
RAM: G.Skill 4GB 1600Mhz (tried to remove one, didn't turn on)

Thanks for your help :) really appreciated
 
Solution
Before you replace anything try a CMOS reset. I have seen some system that were able to come back to life after a CMOS reset. Worth a shot anyway.


Must try the PSU method then, I'll report to u after I finished.

Just finished and seems like the PSU fans aren't moving. But when I plug the atx connector back into the motherboard, the lights (on the m/b) just flick on, so my PSU is definitely transmitting power to my m/b..
 


Thanks, up and running, guess I might of played with it and took it off. Reset the CMOS and its perfect.
