Hello, my pc randomly stopped worked yesterday without warning. Everytime I try and turn it on, nothing powers up. There is a brief flash of light from one of my fans and there are some led lights on the mother board that are working but that's about it. No fans accually turn on. I have no idea what may have caused this. PC is on the older side, about 5 years old. I'm sure something is fried (or at least pretty sure) but I dont know what. Is it the mother board? If not, what or how may I figure out what is shot. I dont think it's the psu according to a buddy, he spent a little time on it trying to figure it out but couldn't do anything else as he was on a time crunch. Thanks!

Motherboard is like an asus z170 I think but I cant remember (not in town)
