FYI, regardless of the force you put on the power button its not gonna do anything different. But keep pushing it as hard as you can b

For some reason your computer is not POSTing. First step I do is unplug / disconnect everything from the motherboard except RAM, CPU, Video card, and Power Supply. Yes, even unplug your hard drive temporarily.
It is not required to POST.

If you have it at this point and it still isn't POSTing then one of those parts is probably defective or your MB is defective. You can try reseating all of the components if you feel comfortable doing that. If you reseat the CPU you should clean off all the Thermal compound from the CPU and Heatsink with rubbing alcohol and apply new thermal compound before mounting the Heatsink/fan back on. Sometimes reseating the components will fix the problem.


If you didn't know the POST is the Power On Self Test. Successful POST gives you one beep and then shows you the BIOS splash screen or PC information.
If you get this then reconnect the devices one by one until you find that one that is defective and replace it.

PC manufacturers usually provide POST Beep codes in the technical manual. This may tell you which part is having the problem based on the beep code.

Good luck

Did you try booting it with the duck removed?
