PC won't turn back on...

So I turned my pc off last night, because it had been on for a month or so, to give it a restart today. My wife went to turn it on while I was at work and says it won't turn on. All the cords are in tact and I can't physically see anything wrong. What are some troubleshooting paths I can take? What to check and how? :'(

Yes. I've tried switching it to both on and off while pushing the power button.

Is the mobo giving any signs of life? Fans spinning etc? Or is it completely dead

   @Whiro tag or quote will do the trick

Completely dead... :/ I don't have my tester to see if the power cable or anything getting power either.

Do you know how to test psu using paperclip?

I tried that with an old power cord, cut the ends off for the copper wire, a blue light blinked one of the times I tried it but the fan on the psu never cut on. So I'm assuming the psu is bad?

Most likely it’s dead. Any chance you have some friend with pc to borrow his psu? Or other system to test it over there?

Also quote or tag ppl if you want them to see your replies.

Yeah I thought I did lol. And no, only lived here a year and everyone I've met, no one else has computers like that. I'm a tech head that doesn't work around tech people. Sucks. XD closest person I know is 2 hours away where I used to live. Ugh.

That’s quite far to go just to test psu. I would order new psu on your place tbh, most likely it’s dead if you test it and even fan is not spinning. Anyway I even didn’t asked what psu you have

It was a little but I could not find a paperclip, of all things lol. Had some spare wire and just pulled the ends off lol. It's the Ultra LSP750 750 watt. Way more than what I needed I believe. And it's almost 7 years old. I'll have to check my parts through partschecker website again but I believe I only needed like 500 if that to run it. Sad part is I spent almost $1400 when I first built it (high end MB and Processor and apparently psu to upgrade the rest later) and just found a pre-built on Amazon for 650 that out does it with Windows 10 instead of 7. Ugh.
