I tried restarting my PC yesterday after the power button stopped working. It didn’t seem like a big problem at first, but pressing it again seemed to help. This time there was no response except for the Ethernet light and the BIOS flashback button. I turned off the PC, checked all cables, made sure the PSU connections were secure, and gave it a dusting. It worked this time, so I went back to Counter-Strike and fell asleep. When I woke up, the PC didn’t turn on again. I’m unsure if the problem is with the PSU, the motherboard, or the faulty power button. Please help me figure it out.

There are two potential suspects: a Mobo or a PSU. However, I think the problem is related to the Mobo side because you have a BIOS light on. I experienced the same issue on a Threadripper motherboard—it was quite challenging. You might try a force BIOS update and check if it resolves the issue.
