gah, I was running some stress tests on my new rig I built over the last two days and something happened and I'm at a complete loss and too tired to fuck around with it anymore, so Im hoping someone can give me clue to whats wrong. here's what happened:

I was running a cpu and gpu stress test and it froze. I manually reset the computer and when it got back into windows the mouse and keyboard weren't registering. I removed them them from their USB ports and then everything shut down. Now when I hit either the case power button or the Mobo power button it just slightly starts to power up and then does nothing. here is a video of whats happening. I tried another PSU tonight and it's doing the same thing. I'm thinking it's the Mobo.

here's a run down of the parts i'm using:

win7 home premium
HX750 PSU
Samsung 840 SSD
H100i CPU cooler
Corsair 650D
i7-3770K
sapphire 7970
ASrock z77 extreme 4 mobo
Corsair Vengeance 8GB
LG rw bluray drive

Any ideas? thanks

try resseting your BIOS (check the mobo manual). If that does not work try to remove your GPU (since you stress tested it to) and try to power up the system with the iGPU. If it still doesnt boot then your CPU might be dead. If you have a friend with a CPU that matches your socket ask them if they could help you out. If there is still no boot after CPU switch..then yes, your mobo is dead.
