Computer doesn't start after sudden shutdown.

[RMP23]

Hi! 

So I was just gaming today and my computer just suddenly turned off without any warning messages or anything - like if the electricity was just cut. After that I tried turning it back on, but it didn't do anything. I tried disconnecting it from the power source, trying a different power socket and checked all the cables from the PSU (everything is where it should be, cables are connected tightly). When I press the power button the PLED1 light on the motherboard turns on with a red light, but apart from that nothing happens. (The lights for the VGA power connectors are on though the entire time). I think it's most likely a PSU issue, which is quite weird because the entire system (including the PSU) is about a month old...  Any ideas to fix the problem? 

 

The motherboard is a ROG STRIX X99 Gaming and the power supply is a Cooler Master V850 (850W).

Think you fried your psu...

Something fried, try to look and see if anything friend, possibly you could smell something but you probably wont.

I can't see any physical sign of it (also couldn't smell anything), but probably that's what happened - by the way what caused it to fry? It wasn't covered, got enough air, the entire system was cool

I would try unplugging the power to the psu and discharge any extra power by holding the power button.

 I would also try resetting the cmos and unplug and re plug everything back in the mobo .

 

If that didn't fix it something fried, you can always see if it is the psu with a tester or using another psu and hooking it up and see if you got power.
