I've had a new PC for nearly a month now and last night after I (eventually) stopped playing Civ' 5 on Steam I shut the computer down like normal, but after it would have normally shut down the PC kept running.
There was no update, message or anything, even the monitor played along. A few sec's after I told the PC to turn off the monitor went into power saving mode as if the PC was turned off, but with the PC continuing to run. I left it for a while but after about 10 min's it was still on and I had to go to bed so held the power button in until it turned off.
It's the next day and now when I try to turn it on there is no beep, no power to the fan the PC case came with (even though my water cooler fan still works), no power to the mouse or keyboard and the monitor just stays in sleep mode as if the PC wasn't turned on.
All the components are fresh out of the box a month ago and lasted this long without any issue whatsoever, I have no idea what to do or what is going on and I am VERY mad as I spend little over £1500 on this PC, only got a month with it and buying more parts is not an option for me. How the hell did this come out of nowhere like this? This is the first PC I ever built and I wish I'd never bothered.

There are no red / blinking lights, no codes or anything, other than the lack of fan spinning looking through the side panel looks just like it was running normally.
I have tried changing the RAM slot / cleaning it with canned air and it didn't work.
I have also tried reseating the GPU / cleaning it with canned air and it didn't work.
I've also unplugged the PC and held down the power button for over 30 sec's (I counted to 60) and it didn't work.
I've also tried just turning it on and leaving it running and it doesn't work.
I've also unplugged, cleaned with canned air and replugged all PSU cables and it didn't work.
I disconnecting everything apart from the PSU, CPU, CPU cooler and RAM and nothing changed.
Took out CMOS battery and left it for 10 min's, I held the power down in while the PC was unplugged to drain the charge and now the fans work, but that's the only change.
I tried asking it nicely.
Now there is a little orange light on the motherboard that says "BIOS_LED 1" (not blinking, just a constant orange), I don't know if it was there before, but it is now.
I'm sorry if I sound stroppy but this was a really big deal for me, I had hoped to get more than 1 month out of it.
