Hi guys, my gaming PC of 5 years wont turn on and I'm not sure why, one day after powering it off, it just never came back on.

 

My only confusion is that I feel like the motherboard or the psu are working because when I turn on the psu, the keyboard connected to my mobo lights turn on. So wouldn't that mean my motherboard is indeed receiving power from the psu?

Well without even powering up the mobo green light is always on and takes up couple watts so you can charge your peripherals etc.  It doesn't mean its not your mobo, as it can very well be.  What PSU do you have ?  If possible can you fill in your signature or tell us your specs so we can help you much better.  For now as of reading your post I feel like the PSU is not sending enough ampage to turn on the rig, but don't quote me on that.  Also do video card fans spin ?
