Hello, I just built my PC last month and I was playing GTA 5 today and it shut down out of the blue and won't turn back on. I'm not entirely sure what to do, the lights on the montherboard are growing so I'm thinking it has nothing to do with the motherboard or PSU but I could be wrong. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

try this to turn on but you need to find the bottleneck looks like powersupply maybe heating.you cant monitor it i guess. pull power from powersupply. take out battery on the motherboard if you donttt know the pins to reset the bios. after you take out battery wait 5 minutes put it back on. connectt the power to powersuply hitt the button.
