Hi everyone! I was using my PC in the morning, and everything was running smoothly, but by the afternoon, it just wouldn't turn on anymore. When I try to power it up, the CPU fan and some other fans spin for about 2 seconds before it shuts down again. If I keep pressing the power button, the fans still work, and the motherboard LEDs blink, but once I let go of the power button, it turns off right away. I've already tried switching out the CPU, moving the RAM around and using just one stick at a time, and I even checked the PSU voltage with a multimeter. I swapped out the PSU as well and removed the motherboard battery to reset it, but nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions on what I could try next? Here are my specs: Motherboard Asus H110M-K, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, Intel i7 7700 CPU, and an Nvidia 1070 TI GPU.

Have you checked if the processor is fried? That happened to me before with an old Ryzen. It's worth considering since sometimes the CPU can fail.
It sounds like you've already done a lot of troubleshooting! Try disconnecting everything except the PSU and a single stick of RAM. If you can't get a POST signal with such a bare setup, it's likely that your motherboard has given up the ghost.
Any chance you hear any POST beeps when you try to boot? Though if it only runs for a couple of seconds, you might not even get that. Just curious if there's any indication at all.
