Hello everyone. This weekend has been a nightmare.

I was transferring my rig to another case and as soon as I turn it on, it immediately turned off. No crackling, no spark, smoke or bad smell, and everything looks new BUT my Motherboard is most definitely dead - it won't even get power.

Given these really strange circumstances, could this also mean my Motherboard took out my GPU or CPU? I've inspected them both up and down and see 0 signs of burn/damage but I can't test them until a new board come in.

Thoughts?

I'm losing sleep over this.
 
"as soon as I turn it on, it immediately turned off."

Does this happens every time you try to turn it on or it happened once and since then you get no response at all? when it tries to turn on what reveals its attempt besides your PSU's fan spinning?

It happened ONCE, and ever since the MoBo does not hold power. Tried a new PSU, it definitely is the MoBo. I just hope it didn't kill my other parts

Now when I hit the power button, no fans, no leds, no signs of life
