Not booting, tried almost everything

I tried everything. Cycling, reset button, cmos, nothings working. Last night my computer just froze when playing a game, then after I restarted, opened Firefox and it did the same thing. Everything just kinda died (audio stopped, nothing was working)

Tl;dr I have no fucking clue what's wrong with it, it's worked for a year and a half.

On booting (not really booting, fans just turn on and audio light bar on) I felt heatsinks of cpu/gpu and they were cold, I will just assume it's because they're not used while trying to boot

But first, let's talk about parallel universes.

Can you change the ram. Maybe that is the problem.

I don't really have any spares

Redo the entire PC. Reinsert the CPU, the RAM, and the video card. That fixed my non-booting problem.

 

Don't forget to reapply thermal paste.

 

Oxidation of the inserted gold contacts for some things may make them unusable. Reinserting them should clean them.
