My PC currently also has problem booting up as well. There is LED lights on the motherboard, PSU working but press button cannot boot up.

I realise that this problem actually had to do with the rainy weather we were having. For some reason when there is a lot of water vapour in the air, the PC cannot boot unless I remove the case and turn on the room air con at full blast for about 10 mins and it will boot up. Once it boots up , I have to adjust the time and everything runs as per normal. It is very strange problem and a very unusual. I googled and found somebody also has this unusual problem.
I suspect that there is something wrong with my motherboard.

Maybe you want to try what I did and see if you have the same problem as I do.

Yeah moisture or dirt.Something is shorting so PC shutdowns intermittently or don't even boot up to protect itself.

Moisture, try to keep area dry(especially if you mop near the casing) or use a dehumidifier or keep PC running 24 hours and warm. Dew point is actually pretty high in Singapore... Obvious indicator is rust.

Dirt, remember to occasionally clean your PC gently, not go ham and use high powered blowers and destroy your stuff, especially fans' ball bearings... Obvious indicator is dust and hair.

Final indicator is sticky looking dust on your fan blades. They will smear when touched. A symptom of the two above mentioned conditions working in harmony. Imagine sticky gooey dust at your metal contacts.
