I recently moved house and for some reason my PC will no longer turn on. It worked fine before I moved it, and is seemingly fine now yet wont turn on.

I've check the PSU, its fine. I've checked all the cables are in properly and I've reseated my GPU and RAM. The mobo LED indicates that power is being recieved. I've tried jump starting it and I can't see anything that would be shorting the mobo.

I'm literally out of ideas, please help.

I would try starting it by shorting the two motherboard power pins (the ones with the wires to the front power switch) with a metal object like a small screwdriver. You just have to touch them for a second or two.

The case wires or front switch may have been damaged in the move.

Did you happen to shake it during transit? Check if motherboard POST's and also check for beeps.

also try reseting your cpu...it may have been pulled off the pins by the heat sink in the move.

I've tried shorting the powernpins to no avail.
Also, I now it kind of leaves me in the dark but I lost the mobo speaker when building this so I can't check beeps.

Edit: Already reset the CPU.
