So a few days ago, my computer randomly shut off by itself. When I tried to turn it back on, it would only power up for a few seconds and then shut off again. I then googled for a bit before I tried to reseat the RAM into the mobo and then reboot. This increased the time that the PC stayed powered on (from shutting off after a few seconds to shutting off after around 30 seconds). But, since that didn't fix it, I tried reseating the CMOS battery (found that as a potential fix after googling around as well), but now the PC will not power on at all. I'm pretty lost as to why my PC randomly shut off and now won't even boot. Can anyone walk me through what I should be doing to check what's malfunctioning? (I'm just hoping I didn't accidentally short circuit the whole damn thing because I think I left the power supply cable plugged in when I reseated either the RAM or the CMOS battery even though I switched the PSU off)

I'm also pretty clueless on how things work (my friend helped me put this PC together) so I don't really know much about computers beyond the basics.
