it sucks if you cannot test which components are still alive. well, it is what it is, good luck.I have no option here.
I use my home PC for work too because I cannot stand working on laptops. So I need a home PC.

I’m laughing because I online built this full skinflint rig. Gonna go see how far I can ram my fist into my own ass, brb.
What an a**h*** I am.

Jesus cwithe. Just for the box?
I want to say mine was well under $4k total also including 32" gigabyte monitor klipsch 2.1 speakers, etc.
anything above $2k is a waste of money. excluding monitor, though. but, that 32" one i have now is, well, it is old now. with no desire to change it.
midrange mobo - $250
cpu - $500-600
1tb nvme - $100.
32gb memory - $100 or more? nah.
graphics - a $500 top, but will be back into low $400 soon.
so?
Beats the f*** out of me.
My last PC (the one that died) was $3,500 back in 2015 not including my monitors nor the same 2.1 Klipsch system you probably have.
My belief is I’m throwing Origin PC $1,000 above cost. But, They have an 800 number vs. If had to troubleshoot something I’d be curled over in cables next to 15 IPAs.
I know what I can and can’t do in this life.
I stopped getting towers several years back. Been using laptops since then (starting around 2015). Easy to get something with good power levels, including GeForce GPUs, RAM, drive speeds (easy with SSD offerings) and such. I'm currently sporting a Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen4 connected to a pair of 27" 4k screens (LT screen is also 4k).

Doesn’t seem to be power issue. Mouse, keyboard, monitors all dead. Has to be motherboard?
No video on motherboard from what my brain can decipher.Well here are a few things....
Does the motherboard have video on it? For starters, yank the GPU out of the effing thing (politely) and plug a monitor into the OBV (whether its vga hdmi or whatever) try to start it
BTW partial power can still be a PSU thing. May be motherboard, too. Thats a shit deal if thats the case. Seems to be rare these days though.
Objectively my most common hardware field failures I witness are nearly always power supplies. It used to be HDDs but since SSDs came out, that killed that
off, except for cheapo SSDs which die like flies, lol.
If you can come to north central MA I can let you borrow a brand new 850W psu if you like. It's still sealed in the box. (something I clicked on and bought by accident, long story)

I just don’t think it’s a power supply problem. Last
Time I had a power supply issue it puffed smoke and gave zero power to the machine & that was circa 2005.
I also punched the side of the PC last night (the one with the mboard) when it wouldn’t boot. Might be applicable. A nice $4,000 punch. Felt good tho
Would my max Fgt lights be powering up if it was a power supply problem?
The fans are on too.
I get nothing. I hit the power button and the fans spool up and it makes the usual noises but I get no power to any of the peripherals.
I mean it has to be a motherboard AIDS factory
I mean this is just offensive.

Correct. I’ve swapped them all to different USBs too. And, in perfect fashion, I have a max dbag mechanical keyboard that shoots out al sorts of light usually. Motherboard giving me an upper decker.So your mouse and keyboard that are supposed to light up, dont? well that can be that it just isnt posting, could still be mobo or the psu or the regulation on the mobo etc.
If it was me id be furiously checking all the power connections, unplug and reseat the mobo power, the RAM modules, and reseat the power to the GPU.
Sometimes when I shake things, they work afterwards. Have you tried shaking your PC?

This is what I generally do. Smash it so I know it’s irretrievably broken and just buy a new one.Sometimes when I shake things, they work afterwards. Have you tried shaking your PC?

That's all I've got...
This is where we start wading into waters I know I can’t swim in.Is there a way you can tell if that stupid watercooler pump is running when you turned the power on?
The reason I mention this is some motherboards, will have a hard protect feature on them where everything STOPS if the rippems on the CPU fan header are zero... and if the mobo thinks the
pump or fan isnt running, it simply will refuse to fully POST. usually most arent that stupid where it displays nothing, but you never know
