Help with fixing computer?

Mar 30, 2018 7:45AM PDT

So I took my desktop to a friends house for a session of gaming, after two days I turned it off and headed back home. While setting up the computer at home, it wouldn't turn on at all. I opened up my computer to have a look, no lights were on and I've changed the wire and sockets to see if it was a faulty wire or wall socket. I did notice if I turn the PSU switch off for a minute and turn it back on, on the motherboard (gigabyte, ga-x99m-gaming5) itself, there's actually a power button and that lights up as amber and turns off instantaneously. Could someone.help as to what the issue would be ?? I don't have any spare parts to test either.

Comp specs:
Motherboard: gigabyte, ga-x99m-gaming5
CPU: i7 something, I don't have the box anymore and the specs are on the comp.
GPU: 970gtx
PSU: evga supernova 750g2 gold

I got it made at pbtech in 2014- 2016 ish. Haven't upgraded since...

Please and thank you.

Because It Happened During Moving....

...check to be sure all the mounting standoffs are still connected correctly....and if you happen to have another power supply you can test with, hook up the other power supply. It's not uncommon for PSU's to be damaged during movement.

Hope this helps.
