Hey guys! Trying not to panic at this weird situation I've been presented with.

I built my first PC on Wednesday. It all turned on perfectly, we put the panels on, set up the OS and I've been gaming since then. 

 

Last night while I was playing Overwatch, it randomly all turned off. I saw no spark, heard no weird noses, it just all shut off. Everything went black, except my Keyboard RGB LEDs and the little power light on the GPU. My RGB mouse isn't lit, the motherboard LED strip isn't lit and neither are the LED fans, which I find weird since the Keyboard and GPU are still receiving power. 

I tried switching off the power supply, then back on and turning on the computer. All that happened was that the power light for the GPU and my keyboard lit up again. I left it over night and same situation.

The PC isn't POSTing, it isn't trying to turn itself back on or anything and pressing the power button does absolutely nothing. 

 

My power is on and I didn't trip a breaker.

Here is my PC Part Picker List for my Build:

Where should I start for trouble shooting? I've been on Google and Youtube for hours and nothing seems to apply to my situation LOL. Please lend a hand, thanks :)

PC specs would help, including PSU make and model, attaching a pcpartpicker list would be nice

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

You wouldn't happen to have a friend's PC to cross test with would you? Your PSU with their components, theirs with your components?
