power switch connects?

If it does not, then the motherboard is faulty.

if it does, then make sure your power switch is functional and is connected properly to the motherboard

This might be due to your processor not being seated or is going (IE. need new processor).
Check your processor, take out and then re-seat it, first clean off the old thermal paste, and then apply new thermal paste (very small amount needed), then re-place the processor and fan. Also check your memory.
Hope this helps you.

Please post back if you have more problems or questions.

Hi,

Maybe your power settings put the PC into hibernation. This often causes problems, particularly with notebooks.

Go to power options in control panel and check.

Try removing disconnecting all components except video card swap it if you have a known good one, add one memory module, CPU and heatsink fan, then try a restart. If it starts, connect the hard drive and try booting into the OS. Progressively add parts until the problem resurfaces.

It is also the Symptom of a short in the system somewhere or an overloaded, defective, PSU.

Excessive current causes the PSU over-current protection to kick in, shutting down the PSU, and it takes an AC mains power cycle to reset the OCP circuit.
