exactly as the title says. was playing some vermintide 2 then poof it just turns off and nothing turns it back on didnt make a sound nothing smelled burnt just off never to turn back on. i bought a new evga psu and put it in cause i figured ya know if its just not coming on it must be the power supply. nope still wont turn on. im thinking maybe the motherboard fried somewhere? but thats only a year old and iv had a bad business oriented mobo thats half the price with half the hardware (still had a 6 core amd cpu and 960) work twice as long >.>

specs are (im at work so if im missing something lemme know im going off my purchase history cause 85% of everything in that computer is less than a year old or barely over a year.)

Corsair 2 x 8GB DDR4 ram
MSI Z270 Pro Carbon intel motherboard
I5-7600k Kaby Lake Quad-core w/ cooler master hyper 212 evo for cooling.
EVGA GTX 960 4GB
EVGA 750w GQ 80+ gold semi modular power supply

Here's how I trouble shoot:

-Check for a bad video card. Boot PC with GPU removed and try CPU/on-board graphics.
-Check memory. Take one stick out each and try and boot with each stick individually. Do that in different DIMM slots too.
-Check the motherboard for blown capacitors (Google what they look like in photos - like bloated batteries or popped off tops).
-Power supply test (which you have replaced and the issue is the same, so look at the previous three as one of the culprits).

FYI dead motherboards within a year or two are rare but it does happen. I had a Sandy Bridge ASUS P8P67 Pro die on me after 18 months. It did exactly like you: one minute I'm in the middle of a flight sim flying, the next I'm staring at a shut...

It did exactly like you: one minute I'm in the middle of a flight sim flying, the next I'm staring at a shut down PC and it wouldn't boot back up. Replacing the mobo fixed the problem. Regarding blown capacitors, that may not be the only failure as mine didn't show any. MOSFET chips can go bad but you can't tell them by the eye. They need an electrical test. In extreme one-in-a-million chance the CPU can go bad, but that is so remote of a chance I wouldn't even consider it.

LumineZ- im at work il check when i get home but i dont think i did.

10tacle- ya iv had a cpu go out on me before. multiple actually (fuck amd without an after market cooler and even then) and each time the computer at least attempted to turn on or did something weird.

my friend told me to try to bridge a connection or press a button (whichever i have) to force boot the mobo without the button for giggles so im also going to try that incase its something stupid but i dont think a button going out would cause the whole computer to just turn off lol. im thinking its gotta be ram or mobo at this point. both not so cheap but least ram is finally going down in price.
