Solution
Could be bad motherboard or power supply. Try unplugging the power supply form wall power and hold in the power button for a few seconds.

Then reset the BIOS to default by removing the CMOS battery for 15 seconds. While you are in the case, check the motherboard, if any capacitors are puffy or have stuff coming out the tops, you need a new motherboard.
