So the other night my computer shut off when I was asleep and I woke up this morning with nothing. I tried unplugging and plugging back in, holding the power button while there's no power cord to drain all power, trying to jump the ram/cmos with jumper pins on my ASUS z270-a motherboard. I figured since none of that worked, my psu may be dead. But then I saw lights on on my USB hub and also my wifi stick so there has to be power in the system. What confuses me though is if there is power, then the motherboards RGB's should be on, since they stay on in sleep mode and when the system is turned off. I had this happen on my old PC, and I ended up having to take the cmos out and putting it back in, but I can't find a cmos of the ASUS motherboard. I will look it up when I get off work, but I'm still lost as to what it could be, because I don't think a cmos will effect the rgb lights on the mb. Thanks for the help!
Update: I went in to take the cmos battery out, and noticed that one of the heatsinks was moderately hot, so that means the motherboard is getting power as well, but it makes me wonder if the motherboard is broken.
