1. If there were no blue screens(?)... then it's most like a power issue...

2. If by PC fans you mean all including case fans, it's likely a power issue.

a) Check PSU connections pressing in the CPU 8 pin and Mobo 24 pin connectors... if no difference,

b) Turn off the PSU rocker switch... ON= I, OFF=O.

c) Disconnect both CPU 8pin connector and Mobo 24 pin connectors,

d) Jump start the PSU with a small wire bent and cut in a "U" shape, and inserted in the PSU 24...


Issues like this commonly come from incompatibility between components and the MOBO.
Either something like the GPU is broken or isn't installed correctly (loose cable or no drivers).

It also could be a PSU failure, can you test it in another system with another or test it with a multimeter or something?

d) Jump start the PSU with a small wire bent and cut in a "U" shape, and inserted in the PSU 24 pin connector, jumping the green wire to nearest black wire, and next turn the PSU on with the rocker switch.. The PSU fan may or not run... if it spins you can test the computer with a different PSU... If the PSU fan doesn't spin, buy a new PSU.
