About 2 weeks ago I bought an H440 case to replace my SPEC-01. After setting it up, it ran well until about a week or so ago, when I woke up (christmas morning nonetheless), my computer wouldnt turn on, but the usb connected peripherals would still work (my phone would charge, keyboard leds worked, etc) So, I replaced my power supply thinking that it was broken, but the issue still persisted. then replaced my motherboard, and im STILL having the issue. This lead me to believe that maybe the case was just defective and that some of the case's cables had become faulty but when i turned on the motherboard without the case button, the LEDs on the motherboardwould light up for a second and turn off like usual. I put a page up on the r/techsupport subreddit, but I was hoping I could find some more extensive knowledge on Tom's Hardware. Since the case, PSU, and mobo are all new and should be fully functional, it seems like maybe the CPU stopped working. I called Intel and hopefully I can get a replacement CPU soon but I would like to get this sorted out as soon as possible as I need to have this computer functioning by the 15th absolute latest. In terms of actively trying to fix the issue I feel like I've tried everything under the sun. Here are links to the two reddit posts I made so you can see what I have already tried doing.

The thing is, I feel like I've tried so much and nothings worked. I don't have much experience with intel's customer support so I figured it might be worth a shot. What do you recommend?
