My computer of 3 months stop working the other day while I was using it. After it turned off I tried turning it on but it would then turned off after a second.
I checked all my cabling and reinstalled all the components inside the computer. I tried using 1 stick of ram to see if it would work. I then tried using a different PSU and had no luck. after looking more into it I found out it had a ez debug led and it shows the CPU led I looked at the slot and didn't see any bent pins or discoloration and the CPU looked fine.
If anyone know what I should check next I would appreciate it.
Thank you

Supposed that you have a PSU tester and the test was successful, remove everything from the motherboard and start from scratch. Try with a minimal config (mobo + cpu + ram) to see if it works.

Sometimes a weak capacitor on the motherboard could ruin the entire system.
