EDIT: Took one of the RAM out and now it appears to be booting normally. Hopefully this is the end of the problem.

Had a power outage the other night and now I'm having a ton of trouble, at first my PC completely refused to power on. No lights turned on, the fans weren't operating, nothing.
I went out and bought a new PSU, which didn't seem to make any real difference.
Next I tried resetting the CMOS and taking the motherboard battery out, then putting it back in after 5 minutes.

After doing this, my computer now starts booting up when I hit the power button, all the lights turn on and the fans start operating. After 3 seconds, the CPU fan stops spinning, then a couple seconds later everything else turns off, and a few seconds later the PC tries to start itself back up again and repeats this process.

Does this mean my motherboard is dead? Is there any fix to this, or am I gonna have to go out and get a new one?

Thank you!
