So I was playing Kingdom come Deliverance last night when out of nowhere my PC just shut down. Upon trying to turn it back on it would just spin the fans for half a second then stop and do this endlessly. I have had this happen before and reseating the ram normally got it going again but this time it has not worked. I have tried putting the ram in different slots as well as reseating the GPU and trying different slots for that. Have tried taking off and putting back on everything that connects to the motherboard. I have checked the motherboard for blown capacitors but they all look fine. I have tried booting with just one stick of ram and that made no difference. I have everything unplugged but the power cable and monitor HDMI cable. I know it isn't an overheating issue as I had my temps up on my second monitor and they was fine until the crash. I have also left the machine off for the night.
After somewhat hitting a dead end and leaving the PC cycling away the fans randomly stayed on although nothing ever appears on screen. After awhile it will stop again and continue cycling fans on and off untill they randomly stay on again. Everything appears to be plugged in properly to the PSU.
Here's a video of that. About 1 Mon 18 seconds fans stay on.

This makes me think it could be the PSU but I'm not entirely sure. Anyone got any ideas.
I would avoid turning it on at all until you can replace the PSU or mobo at the very least
frying your drives and card is the last thing you want

unplug all cords and put it back in again to see if something wasn't simply displaced
I gave that a try but made no difference. Sadly I don't have a spare PSU lying around to try so I guess I'm gonna have to get it replaced and hope that fixes it.
The fact that at one point everything stays on + your previous problems with RAM makes me think this is a problem with the motherboard, not the PSU being overloaded
A friend of mine recently had this symptom.
By repeatedly restarting the PC to try and fix it, the CPU and motherboard was eventually fried, so please avoid turning it on for the time being.
We replaced the CPU and motherboard under RMA, still not knowing what caused the issue.
The issue continued, and I figured it could be a PSU issue.
Replacing the PSU immediately fixed the problem, and it's been stable for over a week now.
Try to borrow a PSU from someone if possible.
Unplug all your drives, and everything else that is not your RAM, Boot drive, PSU and CPU. Now see if it boots or gives an error code.

I had tried this but it didn't work.
Anyway I have a new PSU on the way arriving tomorrow so hopefully it will remedy the situation. Just gonna leave everything until then.
New PSU arrived and installed. Sadly nothing has changed. Maybe it is the motherboard. Hoping nothing worse at this point.

Weeeeeeeel I just saw that my board was giving a 00 error code. Been there the whole time but didn't notice it until now. Found countless threads and videos online of people with the same issue. General outcome for most people is that the motherboard died and it took the cpu with it so i'm likely screwed out of both a new mobo and cpu. I found out they discontinued my motherboard although they still sell other x99 boards but they are apparently just as bad so avoid like the plague. Gonna have to look at what new board and cpu to get now.
at least now you have a spare PSU in case anything fucks up
For fucks sake. I just got my new motherboard and before even taking it out of the packet I realise that on my old motherboard it already has the mounting points for my H100i V2 to screw into. My new motherboard does not. The H100i V2 did come with a back plate that you put onto the back of these motherboards allowing you to screw the cold plate down. Problem is I bought this H100i V2 nearly two years ago and have no idea where that back plate is. Could be in my garage could be anywhere. Now I need to either find it or figure a way out to be able to mount the cold plate.
Just when I thought this was over with another curve ball comes in. Should of seen this before getting the new board.

Holy shit am I lucky. Is way into the minus temps here in the UK and snow everywhere. Hoodie and big thick coat. Gloves and all. Went down to garage expecting that I would never find it. Could of been in a random unlabelled box buried beneath a hundred other boxes if it was even there at all. Went into the upstairs of the garage as that is only place it was likely to be. Saw a yellowish box at the back and climbed over everything to get to it (low ceiling and many boxes in way) and to my surprise it was literally the H00i V2 box just sat there. Opened it and part was inside. Surprised it was even in there let alone still in the original box just in view. Thought I was gonna have to wait even longer for a replacement to arrive. Now to get this shit sorted.

Final update: It lives thank fuck. New MOBO, CPU and now have a spare PSU. Can continue on with my Kingdom Come Deliverance adventure at last.
Can I ask which motherboard was it?
v Damn it had to be asus, guess i'll keep in mind.

Funny thing is with my old board and cpu my desktop used to take about a minute to boot to login screen and this seemed odd considering i'm a Win10 user. Since getting back up again with new board and cpu i'm at login screen after all of about 5-10 seconds of turning it on.
