Bought a brand new psu a few months back due to the same issue, and it has worked fine since, so I found it hard to believe it was tits up already.
Looks like it's a harddisk. The system disk... It started up now with everything else hooked up. Not good news, but it could have been worse.
I want a New rig, but would preger to wait for AMD's new toys. Concerning that several parts went down in a few months. The psu was 11 years old so fair enough, but the ssd isn't that old. 2 years, maybe 3.
Horrible timing tho, with the quarantine.

Brief: why does the pc refuse to boot when the busted harddisk has power from the mobo? Previously it has booted up, but I cant access the disk.

You can also clear the CMOS, if you don't mind losing your BIOS/UEFI settings and see if that changes anything.
Maybe try putting the bad HDD in another computer as well, and see if the other PC boots with it.
Let us know if you figure anything out.
Also, its very rare, but i've even seen a case where it turned out the Power Cable from Wall to PSU was actually bad. Who would have guessed?
