Components used:

 

OS: Windows 7 professional

MB: Asus Maximus Hero Vi Z87

CPU: I5-4670K (minor 4.2 overclock)

RAM: Mushkin Redline 2x8 GB

Drives: Samsung 512 SSD boot + Samsung 512 SSD scratch + 4 TB WD Enterprise storage

GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 SC

PSU: Corsair RMI 650i

 

 

My reliable desktop of 6 years died this morning and I am unsure what was the cause.  No boot or post; fans do not spin.  Light on onboard start button is not lit with the reset light intermittently flashing. Red light on back of motherboard does not light.

 

I tested the PSU on a different desktop and it appears to work as intended.   Replaced CMOS battery and tested startup with minimal peripherals and GPU removed without any luck.  I think it is a bit late for RMA.  Am I screwed?

 

Some things to note:

 

BIOS has not been updated in years.

No signs of burning or thermal damage.

CPU fan headers are installed correctly.

Windows 7 updated during its latest shutdown sequence.

Motherboard is most probably dead if the fans aren't even spinning, and you already verified the PSU works on another desktop
