And yeah this could so far be a lot of things, update, ssd, virus/rootkit/psu, ram, mb, cpu.... If doing a reinstall is something you'd consider, I'd consider it too. If it were in my shop I would immediately disassemble it and power it up as a bare motherboard/psu/single ram/spare donor ssd and do an install while it's sitting on my desk to see if it's the same symptoms. You could absolutely do the same thing, let us know how comfortable you are inside your system. A reinstall could be done on a spare hard drive for instance, if you have one let us know!

Oh good. This is best case troubleshooting for you then! Sounds like it froze, the screen went black maybe and you had to hold the power button for 5 seconds (which is *the* signal for the super IO chip to cut power). There is likely one single component gone wrong. It's likely a ram stick? You get it, work from basics, onboard GPU is not a bad call. Pull the power plug and the cmos battery first before pulling it all the way apart (or do reset jumpers). Sometimes cmos batt is under video card. Be careful with video card. They're almost as valuable as printer ink.
