Kind of a long one here, I'll start with specs
(I've owned this PC for about 2-3 years)
Aight, so a while ago, my PC decided to simply not boot properly, I pressed the button to turn it on, and it kinda flickered on for a sec, but nothing after that. I tried refitting the bios, doing that jumper thing, removing and adding all the parts, making sure there's no dust etc etc etc.
I had overclocked it in the past, and monitored temperatures to make sure nothing went too high, but at the time of my problem, the CPU wasn't overclocked, so I'm kind of assuming it's not a heat problem.
I'm running my PC with a different motherboard and CPU at the moment (different socket to my normal mobo and CPU), every other part is the same, and it's working fine.
I tried my PC once since it officially messed up, with all the original parts in it, and it kinda worked normally for about an hour and 20 minutes (guesstimate), the CPU and GPU temperatures were low, but then it shut off, so I tried using it again, shut off 20 minutes later, and then it decided to simply not start.
Pretty confused at what's going on and what I should do, but I think I obviously nailed it down to the problem being either the motherboard or the CPU, leaning more towards the motherboard for no apparent reason.
Kind of keen on not having to replace a part if that's a possibility.
Thanks in advance.
