Yes, it could be a PSU issue.

I'd disconnect all those drives temporarily and see if you can get it to POST.

I don't know what happened. I restarted the computer to do an update yesterday, but it was because I had the 'Activate Windows' text down in the bottom-right. It restarted and the computer was working fine. I didn't leave it on overnight.

With an older machine it could be any piece of hardware that's causing an issue. The big problem would be if one piece of hardware was slowly damaging other components.

Maybe there's something wrong with the outlet in the powerstrip I plugged it into? Could something have happened to affect the new motherboard?

It's possible but not too common. You could try another power strip/surge protector.

Could it be that I still have it on a power-strip that's sharing other things plugged into it? Could the display be the issue? I have it connected to the GPU via HDMI, and the display is a Samsung TV (the Samsung LN37A550 37" 1080p LCD TV). I'm also using a splitter to toggle between the HDMI on the computer and some other devices (PS5, Nintendo Switch, etc.) which are plugged into the same power-strip. However, none of those devices have had any power issues.

I doubt it's those things.
