Computer not starting, fans spin briefly on X9DR3-F mobo, Superflower Goldenking 1000w PSU

Hi, I have a dual xeon setup wtih x9dr3-f motherboard driven by a golden king 1000w psu in a HAF 932 case.

Everything was working fine for a month, when all of a sudden, the beast wont start anymore. When I hit the power button, the fans spin for a second, and nothing happens. After a couple of seconds, the BMC LED on the motherboard starts blinking. If I try hitting the power button again, there is no reaction from the fans.

I can replicate the fans spinning briefly by disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply, in which case the fans spin once again on hitting power again. Any one have ideas please?

I would really like to try everything possible first without having to dismantle and return the components that I am not sure are working or not

Thanks very much for your help!

Hi, I would firstly try testing the power supply with a different system.

Thanks very much! That is a good idea, let me try it out

I do have an old PC sitting somewhere... I will let you know if it works
