So today I'll explain my day and what happened
So yesterday at around 12:00 AM or PM whichever it was night I had to close my computer since my parents were gonna come into my room and see me on a computer and since it was a school night I would be screwed. So I closed my computer shut it down but it wasn't fast enough even though its an SSD so I went to my extension cord and shut it off there like I do every night but this time my computer was open.
The next day [Today] at 7:00 I needed to print a paper so I open it and print it and it works perfectly it wasn't slow or anything it booted up normally. I shut it off and since I wasn't in a rush I didn't touch it and let it do what it had to do. I turned off the extension when I was done I believe.
At 3:00 [Today] I come back and at 3:30 I go to my computer and see its not powering on I have a Rosewill Galaxy 2 so it has a blue light when its on. It just wouldn't turn on. I turned on and off the PSU thing on the back it was on the 1 from the beginning then I plugged it out and in still nothing. I T just wouldn't turn on at this point I gave up thinking it just needs a break so I turn off my extension and fell asleep for an hour or two.
AT 8:00 [Time when I'm writing this] I took out my PC from underneath my computer table and put it on the ground in my living room where the lighting was perfect since out light stick whatever they are, are on top not on the side. That's just a side note xD. I took it out and looked at it no problems no smoke no bad smells or anything. Now my family doesn't touch my computer, they do all their stuff on their Ipad etc. so it wasn't my family I know that. So my dad he gets a metal thingy like the thing that they use in manicures and stuff and touches it by the area where the power connectors are and the computer comes to life. Great and all except this usually last for a few seconds and turns off. I know I could've done the paper clip method but didn't want anything out of the motherboard. So I press the power button the top to turn it off I hold it down for a good 30 seconds nothing its just stays on and has the horrible noise. So I go to the back of the PSU and turn it off scared a component will start smoking. I really don't know whats the problem and I'm scared that my motherboard is broken as it was a 120$ motherboard my specs will be below. I believe this to be a Mobo problem since nothing else seems to be broken and the PSU is clearly working
