After 2 years my pc will not boot. I power up my pc, gpu and hard drives start up, red cpu light stays on then that's it no case fans or my liquid cooling comes on. No display at all and I'm no longer able to power down my pc using the power button.

I'm not very knowledgable of computers and am just trying to narrow down what part is going bad, whether it be my cpu, motherboard, or maybe the power supply. Any info would be very much appreciated.

I followed the guide I found here's on toms with no luck.

Also this isn't the first time I had issues with this computer doing similar things as I described but this is the first time it didn't correct itself.

Your processor or motherboard could've died, or there might be dust in some connections, or something might've come loose. Try checking the connections points to make sure the fans are connected, and that the wires didn't get caught in a fan blade.
