Hi there, I got home from school a couple hours ago and the power was out. Eventually the power turned back on and I went to turn my pc on but it wouldn't boot. The standby lights on the motherboard are on but pressing the power button does nothing. I have tried using a different power supply but that doesn't do anything. I do not know what to do. PLS HELP

Does your motherboard have troubleshooting lights / a speaker / a post code to know what's wrong with the system.

surge protector?

 

does your GPU work in another system?

can you use the iGPU?

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

hold power & reset, turn off PSU switch or unplug for a few seconds and then still holding the buttons turn PSU back on. its the magic hardware reset trick that no one can explain

Might be dead

 

try using iGPU first, remove your graphics card and use the onboard graphics on your motherboard

Ok, what did you do to get it this far? 

 

If you haven't, try removing the cmos battery.
