I work 12 hour shift every holiday every year. This Thanksgiving will be no different. I work from 3 pm to 3 am.

I did when it was not safe when I was with my ex. I do not with my current so since she is on birth control.

Make sure to unplug all power connectors from the motherboard and then use a wire or paper clip or something of the sort to jump the green wire with a black wire. The power supply and fans along with any peripherals should come on.

If they do then the psu is most likely okay.
If not then replace psu. and see if pc turns on.

If psu turns on, then unplug all power supply connectors and plug only the motherboard main connector, cpu power connector, and any graphics card connectors. Leave all other power connectors unplugged (hard drives, cd drives, ssd, fans, etc.) Need to listen for any beeps and/or a display to come on the monitor.

If you get a display then tell us what the error message is.

If no display, but you get beeps. Then look for a post code if the board has a led display or count the long and short beeps to look up the bios beep codes to determine the error. Or try next step.

If no display then remove the graphics card, all ram, and unplug all devices (hdd, ssd, cd, etc) from the motherboard. Leave any fans plugged in.

Listen for beep codes or post message on led display of the board.

If you get beep codes then put one memory module and turn pc on to check for beep code for no graphics card. If beep code is for graphics card, then put the graphics card back in and try to see if you get a display.

If no display then swap memory modules and repeat.

If you got no beep code with no graphics card and no memory then you need to try reseating the cpu or swapping the cpu with a compatible cpu to test the board.
If the board still has no beeps or post codes then try to reset bios and check for beep or post codes.

If no luck still, then borrow a psu from another pc and try again. If you still get no beep or post codes then the motherboard most likely has failed. Replace the board and reinstall all components and see if the pc turns on.

Hopefully this helps and I was able to explain this well enough.

One semester I was averaging anywhere between 1.5 to 3 hours of sleep a night due to work, homework, and classes. The weekend would come and I would sleep for about 14 to 16 hours. It sucks with a sleep schedule like that.

I still need to take diff eq and linear algebra.

Why are you guessing and checking? You have two unknowns and two equations. System of equations.
