A few days ago, my PC stopped booting all of a sudden. When I shut it down, it was working fine, next time I switched it on, it wouldn't turn on.
At first, the VGA light on my motherboard was lit, indicating issue with GPU. But after trying a couple of things (removing one stick of RAM, tightening the GPU power cable, etc.), the CPU light started glowing instead. There was a slight change in behaviour as well. When the GPU light was on, pressing the power button turned off the PC. But when the CPU light started glowing, I had to hold the power button to turn it off. There was no display in either scenario.
One kind friend here sent his old GT730 for free to me so that I could check if my GPU was faulty. However, it turns out the PC doesn't turn on even with the GT730. The LED marked CPU glows on the motherboard and nothing happens.
I will probably have to take it to a repair shop now, but before that, is there anything else I can try?
I have the following components
