PC turns on for 1 second then turns off with phase LEDS staying on.
Boggin:
Were you able to create a SeaTools for DOS disk to check the hard drive ?
As you aren't able to get to POST it may be worth checking the voltage of the CMOS battery, or just change it.
How old is the machine ?

I built it in 2010, I did remove the battery, waited 10 mins and put it back, should I get a new one? I also hit the CMOS CLR button in the back of my PC.
No I did not DOS Disk check, but they were fine before I swap the parts out.
PSU can be considered new (also self-tested AX1200i) and GPU was just RMA'd.
Boggin:
I'd get a new battery unless you have a multimeter that you can check the voltage of the one you have.
CMOS batteries are reckoned to last 5-6 years, although the one in this laptop that I bought in 2011 isn't doing so badly.

I don't recall much information on the battery itself except made in japan, anyway to know for sure what batter I need
Boggin:
Yes, take it out and have a look at it - it will have a number on one side.
They are usually CR2032.
