Hi,

This morning I turned on my PC, it ran like normal for five seconds then I heard a high pitched buzzing/grinding sound followed by what sounded like the PSU switch turning off.

In the last week I've replaced my graphics card and my power supply but haven't really had any issues until today.

Last night I was doing some stress testing but it was fine.

Now there is no motherboard light and the PC won't start :(

Sounds like the PSU went south. I would do a paper clip test and replace the PSU if it fails. Hopefully, no other components were damaged.
