I have tried everything on this list: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems
When I press the power button the HDD indicator light flashes briefly but no sound is made, and nothing happens. If I try pressing the power button again the HDD indicator does not flash again. If I turn off the system at the PSU for a while, then turn it on and try again, the HDD indicator will flicker and then resume not working either.
Does this mean that something is shorting out? How can I pinpoint the problem?
Edit: This is my build
