Computer completely crashed - and now will not reboot or restart at all.
I've stripped the computer down to the MOBO, PSU, and CPU (fan too) all plugged in. The system will not even boot stripped down.
I've ensured that the MOBO, CPU, and CPU fan are plugged in (along with the PSU too). When I plug the computer in, my external LAN slot lights up, and stays lit if I plug a LAN cord in (to me, this is telling me that my MOBO is properly powered).
What else can I try? The computer has worked fine for 1 week now.
Here are the specs:
