Long story short. I temporarily used a DVDRW then unplugged it. Realized my fans weren't going a week later (idiot move for not noticing on my part). Plugged in the cpu fan manually into the molar. It worked, the other fans didn't. I figure out, "oh, it's because I don't have the fan controller pins plugged in... I must have moved them while using the DVDRW." So I plugged the fan controller into the MOBO and tried to start the computer. I heard a click. Nothing... Then I realized I had the fan controller cord connected to the motherboard and to the molar cable from the PSU. Fried MOBO?
It worked 5 minutes before I did this... Ugh. I'm hoping nothing important (my HDD or SSD) fried.
EDIT:
I feel it may also be worth mentioning that the computer has been randomly freezing lately (to the point of me having to crash it). It may have been also randomly turning off, but that could also be from storms around my area or something (it only happened when I wasn't home)
