PC not getting power?

[Xanderkhan]

 

Specs:

 

ASUS M5A78L-M usb3 motherboard

AMD Bulldozer FX-6300 6Core 3.5Ghz

Raedon R9 280x 3gb Graphics Card

8gb HyperX Fury RAM

250gb + 1tb HDD

Evo Labs E-550XB SPU

 

Basically I had my PC on for quite a long time yesterday and was playing Overwatch for almost all of it when as the night was winding down with some Rocket League the computer was sort of slowing down, the game would freeze then catch up every now and then out of no where just turned off. I've left it unpowered over night and no change, the only signs of life are my GPU lights, my Motherboard's LED and when I first turn on the computer after repowering it one of my separate fans twitches and stops. I've tried re-seating everything to no avail, help please!

(oh and when I first try to power up I hear almost like a click inside the power unit but any time after the first press of the power button without draining it all again it won't make a sound.)

The power supply might be dead. I haven't even heard of that manufacturer at all.

So would you says it's worth taking to a repair shop? Or just buy a new one

Can you disconnect the motherboard power connector and short the green and any black wire together using a paperclip? This will cause the power supply to turn on independently of the motherboard.
