PC not turning on.

Hey so I was watching YouTube then my comp turns it’s self off, the motherboard has an on button on it that lights up, the light is still on and the OC genie light is on, when I press the power button on the case or the motherboard I hear a click and then nothing happens if I press the button a few more times the cmos button comes on, but the comp does nothing the fans don’t spin up the gpu fans don’t so I don’t know what has happened. Any ideas please!?

Look at main rig for the spec if you need it. In my signature.

First two things that enter my mind is something overheated and an immediate shutdown was automatically initiated to prevent system damage. Or, the PSU has failed.

Personally I'd unplug it from the wall (or hit the PSU switch) and let it cool down. Then flip the switch (plug it back in) and try to power it on. If the same issue persists try a different PSU. Usually system component failure (motherboard/GPU/RAM) results in a BSOD before it can catastrophically fail so PSU is first bet.
