Power supply issue or motherboard failure?

[humble Hermit]

Could be a harddrive problem. Mines does that once in a blue and i know I have to get it changed eventually before I lose everything. I would try to back up files if I were you.

HDD affects the power tho?......like is it normal 4 the ish 2 just shut off/fans stop spinning ..etc because of a bad HDD?

would a faulty or dead CMOS battery cauce the PCs power to up and shut down during bootup?

- checked HDD and there was no clicking so Idon't think its the issue

- Removed and checked ram sticks.... same issue

- switched PSUs.........same issue

any helpful info would be appreciated
