So I was playing DayZ yesterday and all of a sudden the game crashed. As I tried to reboot the game, my whole PC froze. I waited about 30 minutes for it to unfreeze but nothing happened, so in the end, I turned it off by the socket. I tried to turn my computer on again but it turned off after about 2-4 seconds. It keeps doing this. I have read up on advice such as re-seating all components and still no luck.
I have also tried another GPU, still no luck - GPU is fine I guess.
The power supply is fine as well as I have checked it with another build.
Most interestingly, the power button at the front hasn't been glowing blue like it usually does and instead shows a little red light underneath it instead. IMAGE:

Anyone have any idea what could have gone wrong?

Also my computer has never over heated. When playing games it runs at about 30 Celsius.

I had a similar problem. I was playing Bioshock infinite and my computer froze. I had to restart it, but it wouldn't boot up, it kept freezing at the "Windows logo" start up screen. It was my hard drive. It became corrupted and I had to get a new one. One thing you can try, to see if it is a HDD problem is connect it to another hard drive (if you can get your hands on one) and see if it boots up. If it does, then you know it's your HDD that's the problem. If it freezes again, then it's not you hard drive that's the problem.
