Hey guys, I ran into a problem a couple days ago, computer was working absolutely fine, turned it off to go to sleep and woke up next day for the pc to not turn on whatsoever, not the fans or motherboard lights or anything.
I have tried:
-removing ram and using them individually
-resetting cmos
-different PSU
-reseating CPU and heatsink
-unplugging HDD
-removing GPU

I noticed that removing the cmos battery and pressing power, makes the pc start for a second (fans and lights included) then turn off, rather than not doing anything at all, but for it to happen again i'd have to completely unplug from socket and plug back in.
it's worth noting that EZ debug on my motherboard shows CPU lit up too.
ALSO when I unplug the 8-pin CPU power from the mobo the PC WILL turn on and stay on, but obviously got no display or anything haha, but hopefully that helps rooting out the problem.
Thank you in advance, this is driving me mental.
