I plugged in an additional HDD to see what was on it, and computer wouldn't get to Windows loading screen. I figured the other HDD was boot disk.
I forced a shutdown by holding the power button, unplugged the extra HDD... NO power to computer. No lights, no beeps, nothing. Tested PSU and it's fine. What gives? Motherboard failure?

Please stick to one thread unless you want the community to end up with spaghetti brains.
Tested PSU and it's fine
Can you elaborate on how you tested the PSU? The paperclip method doesn't tell you how much power the PSU can effectively output to the rest of your system. How old is the Rosewill PSU? Speaking of which Rosewill is the brand of the unit, while 750W is the advertised wattage and 80+ Bronze is it's 80+ efficiency rating, it doesn't state what the model of the unit is. As for your platform, you have two sets of rams, remove the SK Hynix rams from your board and have the G.Skill rams in slots A2 and B2 on the motherboard's ram slots. Have you tried working with a donor PSU?
I'm in dire need of answers quickly. I'm losing work due to this.
Again, I don't see what components my computer even has since it is not letting on. I've tried starting with other PSUs. There does not appear to be any physical damage to my Mobo.
