SETUP

PSU: Ace Black 120mm Fan 750W
MBoard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P ATX
GPU: XFX HD 7850 Core Edition 1GB GDDR5
Processor: AMD FX-6300
RAM: Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Vengeance

---------------

I was on my PC playing a game and my pc instantly turned off, upon trying to turn it back on, it stopped after 1 second. The front power button LED goes off right as I turned it on, the CPU fan spins very little then stops, no GPU fan spinning, The motherboard appears to have no lights appearing either. I can't even get into the bios because theres no display.

We tested the PSU in another PC and it booted fine. There was no burning smell or beeps from the motherboard, thoughts?

This happened to my laptop a while ago, Yeh second the above CMOS is most likely. Not familiar with that mobo but the battery may run out and could be easy to replace if just clearing it doesn't work.

If the PC powers on but won't post or display beep/light codes it is most likely the CMOS corruption or mobo failure.
