Hello, earlier this year I built a computer for moderate gaming and school use and I have just begun to have issues. While playing Dark Souls 2 the screen turned black, and almost immediately turned all white and refused to change until I held the power button to reset. I figured the graphics card had filled up with dust and so I completely removed the dust inside and it worked great for another week. This time however, the same problem occurred and when I reset the computer and turned it back on, no signal is being sent to the monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Also no fans on the computer are spinning except for the ones that aren't attached to the motherboard. Perhaps the mother board has died. Any help would be very appreciated.

Specs:
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H
Intel Core i7-4790
Corsair cx 600
RipjawsX 8 gigs of DDR3 memory

Try removing the graphic card and see if it works. If it doesn't start up then try another power supply with your graphic card removed that is a very nice power supply i don't suspect it but things can fail anytime so might as well check it. If even then the motherboard fan doesn't start then it is the motherboard.
