Nada, nothin, zip. My computer will not start, I moved my computer room to room and plugged it in, and now it wouldn't boot, I moved it back and it booted, so I tried every outlet in the new room and it wouldn't work, then I took it back to the outlet I knew was working and it doesn't boot at all, no LEDs, power doesn't work, even tried shorting touching the power pins with a screwdriver. I get nothing. I tried a different power supply that was working and it still didn't boot. Here are the specs

 

Nzxt phantom 410

seaggate baraccuda 2tb

Gigabyte Z97-D3H

Msi R9 290x Lightning

i5 4690k

H100i

Corsair CX750M

8 case fans

 

If you could help me out with diagnosing the problem that would be great, thanks guys!

Cables could've gotten loose, my 24pin did that to me... Check ALL of the cables in it and make sure they are placed and firmly secured.

So someone ****ed up the electrical outlets in the new room and it ****ed your pc? Did you use anything less important and expensive to try in the outlets before hooking up a pc in the new room?  :S   I mean yeah try everything and anything to get the pc to work but is it possible the problem is the new room killed your pc?

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

It worked when I moved it back then stopped working completely, no cords are loose and I even plugged in a new Power supply. CPU cord is plugged in, I have my monitors plugged in just fine.

 

Maybe something with the motherboard? All switches are on.

 

Wait, so when you move your computer around, it doesn't boot, but when it's in its normal spot, it does boot?

 

 

Did you re-check that all the wires are inserted and nothing shook loose?

The power supply switch maybe?

Your only option now is to do the usual reseat and then try to single out a part. My guess would be the motherboard at this point.

System: Thinkpad T460

make sure the motherboard is not touching the case and shorting.

Alright guys, first I want to thank all of you for helping me out, Liquid was right and the motherboard was touching the case. Basically I built my computer 4 months ago and I didn't install the MOBO standoffs and it worked fine until well, it didn't. I guess when I moved it it grounded it and it wouldn't turn on anymore.. I took all my components out and installed the standoffs and it works fine now.. I'm an idiot xD.. Thanks guys
