Alright, so this computer was running perfectly for the past 5 months ever since I overcame a problem with upgrading the bios via USB to account for the new type of processor. Yesterday I was simply just browsing the web and it shut off with no warning, no noises & no smells (worst nightmare I know).
If I look behind the PS the light is orange on the back of it, but when I press the power button it makes a very slight noise then turns red and does not turn on anymore. There is no lights at all on the motherboard either when the PS light is orange or read while plugged into the wall.
I occasionally would slightly OC the processor & graphics card but never pushed anything. The only thing that I can think of it's been especially humid in LA lately & I do have a cat and I haven't dusted in a few months in there but it wasn't that bad really.
Can anyone offer advice about what I should do first? Thank you in advance.
