PC won't do anything when power button is pressed

Aztec

Hey, I've left my PC on to mine some bit coins (well, was just trying it out for the 1st time to see what it was like and how it worked etc...) I went to the gym for like 2 hours and then came back to find out my PC was turned off but the light on the gpu is still glowing. I tried turning the PC back on and it won't do anything at all. Has it over heated? I have a Corsair H55 water cooler so I didn't think that would be the case. Specs:

AMD A86600k APU

msi a78m-e35 motherboard

Asus 8GB RX 470

2X Samsung EVO 250GB SSDs

1tb HDD

350 WAT Corsair PSU

Thanks!

well the light turns on on the gpu that means the psu is good, maybe the cpu or the gpu is broken or overheated

Mining places your PC at 100% load so it may have been damaged

Not necessarily, when my PC wouldn't start up, the GPU light was on, and the PSU was DOA.

Somewhat happened to me.. it was the BUTTON that was broken on a very new case. So, first of all, try to plug RESET +- wires to POWER+- and use the reset button to "power it up". If it works, it's the power button, if it doesn't, it's something on your hardware.

Just opened my PC and I think the H55 was leaking as there was water on the GPU and that

my dad turned my pc off by the switch(cringe) and it would power on by the case pwr, so i had to use the internal power switch

Bring your system back to minimal parts. 1 stick of ram, no GPU if your processor has integrated graphics, etc.. do some testing and reply back with an update.

That sucks. Try to take out the parts where the leak occurred and let them dry out as much as possible before trying to power them up again.

Thanks, I have no idea how that happened, it's a sealed unit
