Motherboar Dead? - Not psu?

[gunp0int]

Hi everyone. I have searched around and haven't found to much information on my issue. So any help is appreciated.

Basically I was just browsing Steam in the summer sales and the my PC shut down like someone pulled the plug. Then It wouldn't boot... at all no fans, no beeps, nothing.
-------------
I have an

I5 4770k

z87-g41 mobo

I forget the brand of the power supply but a 750w

gtx 770 4gb gigabyte card

1 - 7200 1tb hard drive

1 - 5400 rpm.

and one stick 8gb RAM.
--------------
I tested the PSU doing the paper clip test and with a PSU tester I had. It powered on and seemed to work fine.
GPU tested fine.
Tried different RAM slots but not a different stick.

I can try the psu in a different computer later to make sure its fine.

Any ideas? I know the Mobo is low end and doesn't have great reviews so maybe its that...

the thing is this is super hard to pin point. My first guess would be the psu but is there a smell from any components?

 

[gunp0int]

Sorry I was updating the information as I accidentally posted it early. No smell everything seems to be fine but powering the board seems to be impossible and I BELIEVE the PSU is fine as it passed a few tests.

hmm do you know how to short the jumpers and turn on the motherboad using a flat head screw?

 

[gunp0int]

I looked that up yesterday and Tried it. I am supposed to short the two small connections for the power switch right? I Tried it with two screw drivers and a paper clip and nothing seemed to happen.

uh try to tap from the bottom of the power switch

 

[gunp0int]

Appreciate the help. I am fairly sure I am doing it correct as I have done it before. Still nothing... Either the board isn't getting power for some reason or obviously something else.

lol do u have another psu u could use?

 

[gunp0int]

Hmm not at the moment. I will see what I can do later but not right now.

 

[Xtwargodtx]

okay try to use the other psu how much watts is it?

 

[gunp0int]

700w. I am getting it from a friend so I have no idea when I can test it.

 

[gunp0int]

I would like to verify it was the motherboard in the end.
