ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe/Gen3
Yesterday morning I used this PC for a couple of hours then shut it down using Start>Shutdown as I always do, it was working perfectly. About 2 weeks ago I installed a new CR2032 MOBO battery. This PC has been totally reliable since I built it years ago. Intel i2600K, Samsung SSDs, 16GB RAM, Seasonic PSU, Corsair H100i Pro cooling.
Last night I needed to use it and it would not start.
Pushing the power button literally nothing happens.
It is plugged into a Cyber Power UPS.
I switched the Seasonic PSU off, unplugged it from the UPS, waited a while, plugged it back in, switched the PSU on, and again no response to pushing the PC power button. I removed the case cover, pushing the MOBO power button also does nothing. The power button and the reset button next to it are illuminated.
Am I out of luck or is there anything I can do to get this PC to start?
As of now it appears totally dead except for the MOBO LEDs which are illuminated.
There were no power surges at my house and no one else uses this PC.
I'm desperate.
