i5 2500k stock speed
GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD3-B3
8 GB RAM Crucial Ballistix 1600Mhz
1TB Samsung SATA HDD
nVidia 560ti MSI TwinFrozr
Corsair 550vx PSU (quite old probably 4-5 years)
PC has been working perfectly fine until today.
I woke up this morning and decided to clean my PC as I always do with a can of air to dust it, made sure none of the liquid came out, I don't tilt the can. I also used a brush to brush fans clean and other components. Then when I hooked it up again the PC would not respond to the power button, I unplugged it and made sure everything was as it should be connection wise and tried again, still nothing.
After pressing the button a few more times it turned on but the PC didn't post, no beeps, everything else had power but the HDD activity light stays off too, I hear them spin up though. The light on the MOBO (phase LED #1) comes on, but doesn't budge from there. When I press the power button when it's on it turns off and doesn't come on again unless I press the power button many times.
I also noticed the PSU makes a buzzing noise while its plugged in, on or off. No burning smell.
I'm about to go get a PSU to see if a new one will fix it, but would you guys have any ideas on what it is? Do you think in the process of cleaning something might have happened?
