The issue at hand is I can't turn my computer on & idk what to do.
Specs:
-Asus Z97 Motherboard
-intel i7 4790k
-16gb RAM
-256 gb SSD
-1 tb HD
-Nvidia GTX 1080
-850w EVGA Power Supply (80+ Gold)
-Windows 10
-Metal white cas (dunno the actual brand/model of chassis)
A while ago, I moved my PC a bit & tried jostling a usb into a faulty port near the power button. I thought I accidentally hit the power button, but now the PC won't turn on. I see green LED lights on my motherboard & it and the graphics card have tiny LED lights on (for the motherboard, not all the lights are on). I tested the power supply & even bought a spare. Both are fully functional and working and everything else on the PC (the fans, interior lights & such). So, it's not a PSU issue & given the tiny LED lights, I find it hard to believe it's a motherboard issue. I took out & reinserted my RAM, my graphics card, the wires connected to the motherboard and PSU, especially the PWR_SW cable in the motherboard; nothing. I looked up that thread of 31 steps to do when you're computer's stuck off, didn't help. PC can't turn on so I can't POST it either. Also replaced the CMOS battery and still nothing.
Outside of the PSU test, the motherboard, fans, PSU: nothing turns on & it's driving me mad.
