Wont boot to BIOS


Good, then we can rule out a bad Microsoft firmware update.
If your motherboard have beep/LED/display error codes, do you get any?
And when you hit the power button, does it sound as the PC is powering up? (this was easier to hear with floppy drive or mechanical disks)
Does the Power supply give you the right voltage?
When you open the computer to switch CMOS battery, did you smell anything like reminds you of burned electronics?
When you removed and put back all the power connectors to the motherboard, did it felt like resistant or did it slide a bit "to easy"?
Also have a look inside the connectors if it look like some pins are darker then the others.. That can be bad contact so it dont get the power.
If you have a PCIe graphic card and you also internal graphic on the board.. test to remove the Nvida card and see if the computer start.

That is the first few things that pops up in my mind. :-)
I didn’t remove Graphics card so will try that,will check connectors for darkness burn marks but from memory they were ok,will keep an eye on POST lights etc but there wasnt any beeps ,everything else you mentioned seemed ok
Will try all suggestions tomorrow as my patience was dropping so better to have a break
