The system crashes but I can't turn it back on until I hit the PSU hard switch.
Most of the time the lights on USB devices stay on, but interestingly the lights on the molex fans don't.
I had a power supply die a couple of weeks ago and replaced it with an old one I had. This same problem happened with that one so I got the new one I'm have now. It worked fine for about a week but yesterday I started having crashes while playing system intensive games.
I'm guessing it's a hardware problem because I don't think software could keep the power button from working. I don't think the power supply is defective because it's new and I had this problem with another PSU.
I don't have another motherboard to test the CPU or another CPU to test the motherboard.
Things I tried:
Is there any other trouble shooting I can do? I don't want to just order a part hoping it works without trying to narrow the field first.
Any help would be apricated.

Things I tried:
- Reseating all the power cables
- Setting the BIOS to defaults
- Turning off all hibernations settings
