I was in the middle of gaming, which was only going on for about one hour, when my pc just suddenly shut itself off. No warning or anything, just poof. It's never done this before but the thing is I can't get it to turn on again. No matter in which way you press the power button, nothing happens. So I shut off the power supply and unplugged for a while. Then I plugged it back in, turned it on and tried again but it still wasn't doing anything. I'm not sure it's the power supply because the lights on my keyboard are still working on every usb output, both on my motherboard and on the top of my case.

System:

Case:
Phanteks Eclipse P400S tempered glass

Cpu:
Xeon e3-1230 v5 at stock speeds

Cpu cooler:
NZXT Kraken x62

Mobo:
Asrock Fatal1ty E3V5 performance OC

Ram:
16GB of kingston hyperx fury ram at 2133mhz

Graphics card:
MSI rx 480 gaming X 8GB

SSD:
Intel 600p 500GB

PSU:
Corsair RM750X

During gaming my cpu never got above 50 degrees celcius.

Do you guys have any idea what it can be or have you seen anything like this before?

If absolutely nothing happens when you try to turn it on, you could try the "paperclip test" to see if the PSU is actually able to power up when nothing more than a fan connected to it. That will at least tell you whether the PSU is completely dead.

5VSB and the other outputs are generated by different circuits so having 5VSB for the USB ports doesn't tell you anything useful about the main outputs other than the main switcher should be receiving power.
