PC wont boot, USBs have power

[chuaj6363]

My PC shut off in the middle of a game last night, and attempted to turn itself on afterwards before shutting off again. Power button does nothing, however the USB ports get power and a 'Clear CMOS' light lights up, which I have never observed before.

No fans, no POST (no speaker, so cannot tell if it does) and no LEDs.

Any ideas?

Specs:
ASUS ROG Rampage III GENE motherboard
Intel Core i7 (not sure what model)
AMD Radeon HD 5800
6GB DDR3 RAM (3 slots)
Corsair GS600 PSU

with a pc of your age it can be a power supply failure or mb. i would try a test power supply if there no post or change use the mb usb flashback port if there one on your mb and reflash the bios see if anything changes.

I've done a paperclip test, the PSU did not respond.
Is this sufficent to determine if the PSU is fried?

Try turning off the power switch on the power supply, then unplug the power cord. Wait 30 seconds and reconnect.

HOnesty goes a long ways.......... it is how you learn. The people who post questions here are learners and I respect them not stupid comments. Your rabbit may not live long. Does that help? Or should I recommend you see a vet?

It seems like the GS600 is dead after some testing.

I'm gonna pick up one soon and see if the system starts up.

New PSU worked. PC up and running fine with no issues now.
