Need urgent help

i turned on my computer today's and it started doing this and will not boot up. I've tried unplugging it and all the basic things but to no avail. I'm not sure if it's the CPU that is broken a second the cpu light comes on or the psu. Any help would be great

Main Specs
Asus m5a97pro
Nvida 960
Amd 6300

First IA for me would be to unplug everything except the PSU and see if it goes to POST. If it does plug the hard drive in and see if it boots. If it does then plug the other bits in one by one. When you unplug the peripherals unplug the power leads fron them as well. If it doesn't go to POST with everything unplugged then it's either your power supply or motherboard. Don't forget to remove the daughter boards as well such as graphics sound etc. everything has to be removed from the motherboard except the power supply. Hopefully you have on board graphics or this will not work. The power supply is the cheapest bit to replace on a trial basis.

Forgot this. Make suer the RAM is pushed fully in. It can work loose especially when the MB is in an upright case such as yours.

Thanks for the help! i unplugged everything so im ordering a new psu now and will update you when it arrives

I believe I had this happen to me with a very old computer. Once I reset CMOS it worked.

I always think that if you are going to be fault finding on computers, or any piece of electrical equipment, it's always useful to have some test equipment handy. A test unit for an ATX power supply is dirt cheap. https://www.amazon.co.uk/PC-Power-supply-tester-LED/dp/B0038MN90A and is worth it's weight in gold IMO. Dunno what that is in American money but it aint much.
