Dead PC - Help

Came home from a three week trip and when I tried to turn on my office PC, nothing. No fans, no video, no drive spin ups.

It had power to the MB as the MB mounted power switch was lit. But no other signs of life.

Figured it was the power supply since it is twelve years old. Replaced the PS with a Corsair RM850x. But nothing changes. Still no signs of life.

Anyone have any ideas for testing, before I junk this and rebuild a new one?

Current is an i7-3770K on an Asus P8Z77-V motherboard. I was going to replace this build in the spring, but it seems I am forced to do it now. My big problem is the data drive is a RAID array. Not sure how to move that to a new computer. The C-drive is an SSD. Worried about losing all of my apps.

Any help/ideas would be appreciated.
 
Just attach the ssd to a new computer as a data drive. Duplicate everything. As far as your raid drives, they should be duplicated. How many drives are in your raid and what type of raid is it? You shouldn't lose anything datawise.

Try unseating your memory and processor and then reseating them. I have had luck many times doing that in the past decades.
