Long story short, I was doing some work on my computer and ended up moving it back to its normal position while it was turned on. Some cords were tangled up and the computer got disconnected from the outlet while it was still running.
When I rebooted I got a warning that the BIOS settings had an issue and was given options to load optimals settings and continue, load optimal settings and reboot, or enter the BIOS set up. I chose the last one and checked the settings out but didn't make any changes.
When my session loaded the mouse was unresponsive, so I rebooted again . . . but after shutting down the computer would not restart.
Now when I hit the power button the lights flicker and the fan starts but then everything immediately shuts down. Subsewuent power button presses get no reaction at all. If I unplug the power cord and plug it back in I get a flicker again.
I've tried unplugging and repluggin/re-seating everything, and I tried a second power supply that I have on hand with exactly the same results.
Is there something else I should try before ordering a new motherboard?
