When I press the power button,

The fan behind spins for 1 second then stops

No spooling up sounds of any kind like it's supposed to have

No beep sounds

What's the problem?

PSU is the main component that fails now that hard disks are no longer a thing.
Borrow one to swap out and see if it fixes things.

You pray that it's your psu and not Mobo issue. Mobo issue are the worst thing that can happen to you, the most difficult to troubleshoot

ensure ur mobo connectors are not loose.
take ram out and use eraser to rub the contacts (dont underestimate this step, it save me from a lot of weird PC issues)

psu are very sturdy so i wouldn't assume is psu yet...it is also one of the hardest to troubleshoot

try the cmos battery first. good advice.
cmos battery died, the mobo will still go to the setting for a re-step up.

Cnos battery drained Liao, still can boot up one
yes, the mobo will go the bios setup display.

Likely it is the mobo circuit go hay-wire liao. the PSU detected it and auto cut-off to prevent further serious damages to other components (if it's a 80+ psu)
