New desktop Pc dead after 8 days

So I have just RMA'd my computer back to PC specialist today after only 8 days due to it not powering up. When you click power all the PSU did was click once. I stripped the MB down to just the MB and CPU and even powered it up from the motherboard to no avail. How can it go from working perfectly one day to not even powering up the next. I suspect faulty PSU or MB but intrigued to hear people's thoughts?

Usually if the motherboard lights were on but it wouldn’t boot that would suggest the CPU wasn’t getting power, could have been a loose cpu cable on the motherboard or failed PSU.

So I turned off all RGB lights early on but couldn't see any MB specific lights when turned on so either TUF MB doesn't have a power light or the PSU is dead. I did try seating all cables again but no luck.
