Hi everyone. My PC suddenly turned off and i cant turn it on.The mainboard has LEDs lightning, GPU too.
I changed the PSU, removed GPU, RAMs, HDDs and tried to start with the PWR button on the mainboard but still nothing.

I can't smell anything burned or something like that.

Is it possible that the mainboard (Asus x99-A) is dead?
 
Solution
Disconnect 24pin power connector from motherboard.
Have fans and hard drives plugged in.
Take a paperclip and jumper from the green wire in the 24pin harness to a black ground wire in the same harness.

If PC powers on then PSU is fine and your issue is likley that the old PSU fried the motherboard.
Do check the power button connecteors as well.
If PC still does not power up with paperclip method then your replacement PSU is bad.

Yes, but we need more info.
Try
- different power cord to PSU
- a different outlet
- Turn PC on outside of case using screwdriver/similar

And let us know what happens.
