Hey all.
I have a huge issue involving my PC.
After trying to turn on my PC all of the fans went full throttle for couple of seconds before the whole system shutdown.
At first I thought it was overheating since it's summer and the heatwaves where I live are insufferable. So I decided to give it a quick clean with compressed air without disconnecting any cable inside the tower. After that when I tried to power it on it simply flashed red CPU debug light for split second after which it completely shuts down. I disconnected CPU power and noticed that only then fans start spinning and LEDs on mobo work.
Things I tried:
I have no way of testing my CPU on different setup so it could also be a culprit.
I ordered new motherboard to test it out but I will have to wait 4 days.
If there is anything I missed please let me know.
Components:
MSI B150 Gaming M3 mobo
CORSAIR VS550 PSU
Asus GeForce GTX 960 OC 4Gb
I5-6500 CPU with stock cooler
HyperX Fury 2x4 GB ram
Edit: Tested with different PSU, same results.

Things I tried:
- Reseating CPU
- Minimal boot aka only CPU and RAM stick
- Checking ram sticks one by one
- Paper clip test for PSU.
