Cleared CMOS and got it! Sorry all

I’ve had this PC for a few years and recently started to have issues with blue screens. I would frequently get clock watch dog timeouts but I never pinned down the issue. Last night I had my PC turn off on me while playing games but I figured I just hit the power cord. Today I went to turn it on and it would very briefly start the fans but no post and turn off. The only way I could get the PC to attempt to start again is by turning the psu on and off again. I have a Maximus vi extreme, i7 4790k and a 1070 with some DDR3 Corsair ram. I believe my PSU is some 700w Corsair with platinum spec, I don’t quite remember. Am I most likely dealing with a bad PSU? It’s also been quite dusty as I’ve neglected to clean it, would blowing the PSU out be a good start?

I gave it another shot making sure to follow those directions and it didn’t work. It gives me a few blinks then stops. The flash drive is formatted to FAT32. I believe NTFS works as well but I have no clue if that has anything to do with the problem.

I currently have an ASUS Maximus VI Extreme and a core i7 4790k with a current Bios version of 1505. I'm having difficulty flashing my bios to the current version. I've attempted to use the ROG connect method where I download the cap file off of ASUS's website and rename it to M6E.cap and the button will flash and nothing happens. I've tried naming it just M6E aswell. I would like to use the Asus Ez flash utility however I oddly have no tools menu to access it. The reason im trying to update is due to some errors I've been having while trying to play apex.
