Failing PC: what caused it?

[gallagher]

PC auto shutdown while surfing net

After which can never boot up anymore

At first thought was psu problem, replaced a new one, still same

What went wrong?

All fans not moving, no beep sound, no post

CMOS resettled , rams resitted.

Try boot up with just cpu only. Meaning no ram no gpu no hdd etc. If it boot up then slowly add 1 component back a at time.
