The failure may be in one of the boards in the PC, or even in one of the connections. These problems can be very difficult to identify. More than one computer has been thrown away in frustration.
If you have access to a computer repair shop that does not charge an exorbitant minimum fee, you might take it to them. But be aware that a person can open a shop without actually being an expert. Get a recommendation first.
If you do have to replace the computer without fixing it, any repairshop can upload the data off of your old hard drive so you don't lose any. Again, pick someone you trust if your hard drive contains any sensitive personal information.
Perhaps someone else on this board can give you more help.

Do they start again on boot? If so it's a power management issue. Especially if it works on one and stays idle when switched. You can turn this off in the BIOS and also the OS most likely if that is the case. I have also seen monitor power supplies go out while keeping the LED lit on the other hand...
Hope that helps.
