FIXED, GOT A NEW PSU, PLEASE LOCK TY
Yesterday, my computer randomly shut down for no reason. I wasn't playing any games or anything, I pretty much only had Mumble and Chrome opened and it just shut down. It wouldn't turn back on, so I went to sleep thinking it might solve itself, but here I am, and it hasn't.
I've opened the case, cleaned the dust off, made sure everything was plugged in correctly, but now, I'm not sure what to do next. Whenever I press on the power button, nothing happens. None of the fans move at all and no lights turn on. However, in one attempt, the processor fan spun just for a second and then stopped. Probably doesn't mean anything, but I feel like I should mention it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you :)

How many years of usage your PSU has

x3How many years of usage your PSU has
I'd say I've had it for about 6 years so I assume it's getting close to the end of its life

Is it plugged in?
Does the PSU have a switch on the back of it? Is the switch set to ON?
Sometimes motherboards have LEDs lit even when the computer is off, do you see anything lit up?

It's plugged in, the PSU has a switch on the back of it and it's set to ON, my motherboard doesn't have any LEDs

UPDATE: Now the power button on the motherboard lights up when I press it, and the cpu fan moves slightly everytime I unplug and replug the power and then hit the power button. I assume my PSU is dead, and I'll try to get another one for testing purposes.
