PC won't turn on (only fans spin)

Yesterday my PC was working fine. I shut it down, the next day I try to turn on, only the fans start spinning and glowing, other peripherals stay off. screens don't receive any signal from the PC.

I tried removing the gpu but the same thing happened.

I bought this PC 2 years ago.

 

PC specs:

asus h110m-A/m.2

intel core i7-6700 (stock cooler)

evga gtx 960 acx 2.0 2gb

1x crucial 8gb 2133mhz

z-power 500w power supply

wd blue 7.2k rpm 1tb

I'd start by switching ram slots than making sure the power supply didn't quit.

Google "the PSU Paperclip test" It's a simple test that will short two pins on the psu's 24 pin cable. It it will turn on, it works. If not, than it means it's dead.

It wouldn't be your entire PSU if your fans spin. I am willing to place money that it is most likely your ram

I changed the ram slot and turned on the PC and it started beeping

Unplug the PSU and take it out. Then do the paperclip test. If the PSU turns on, it's good. If it doesn't, it's dead.

I suggest you get a psu tester to verify all the cables of your psu are working and providing adequate voltage.   They are really handy to have around.   If the psu checks then go from there.  I am suspicious of the psu since everything quit all at once.  In the past when I had memory going bad there were errors occurring before it finally died.  The newer generations of processors,  generation 4 i7 and similar amd products need clean consistent power to run flawlessly, so building a $600 system and powering it with a $25 500 watt psu is not going to end well.
