Won't post

Built a computer about a month ago all the sudden it won't post it turns on and after about 30 seconds it shuts down.   All of the led indicator lights on the motherboard turn off.

I would do the basic checks. Try taking out the gfx card. 1 memory stick (if using dual channel) or unplugging case fans (I wouldn't recommend taking out the cpu fan but you can try a different header.) if you can get into the bios. Check everything is recognised and after that, then it could be something with the drive but not my area so I wouldn't know. All I can suggest is the above but all at your own risk. Maybe try different sata ports. Also check your power supply isn't getting tripped or something but again i don't really know.

Yea all the fans work and the power supply works I'm gonna try removing the cmos battery and see if that works

ALL of the lights on the motherboard turn off. Including the one that is supposed to stay ON when the system is powered OFF.
Holy fudge never seen that, I would assume the whole board looses power if that one lil light is off

Sounds like you know what to do better than me. I don't know if it's safe to remove that but no experience there. Maybe just something with bios. I would recommend checking with no graphics card, no ram, 1 stick etc and if everything is ok maybe bios refresh. If your mobo wont even display an error code or something, check all psu cables. Idk from here on really.

There is normally a cmos jumper as well, its there to stop people breaking the cmos battery holder because if thats broken your screwed but jumpers are hardly broken unless you solder them
