PC turns on for 1 second then turns off with phase LEDS staying on.

See what you get when you boot with the GPU card removed.

Okay, I will try, I am going to unplug everything except the power cord from the back.
My PSU for sure is good because it has a self-test button that I used multiple times, my GPU was just RMA'd but still, worth a trying...

I tried it, still same problem, one stick of ram, still same problem.

I was hoping that with the GPU removed that the VGA would have kicked in so I think that could rule out the GPU.
If it had been a memory problem then nothing would have worked - neither the fans or the lights.
With all memory removed do you get any indication of a memory error code when you boot.
Some computers have bleep error coded while others use their lights.
Can you Google to see if your machine uses its lights as its error codes - that may explain what the yellow light signifies.
Can you check inside of the case that all earth points are secure.
I'm not sure if a SeaTools for DOS disk would boot up to determine the state of your HDD, but I think that is something you should try if you have access to a machine to create the disk.

Use the links for SeaTools for DOS as the one for Windows is the installable version.
You haven't said which version of Windows you are using, so changing the boot order could prove difficult.

I hear no bleeps, the mobo speakers may not be working.
PHASE LED that signifies the voltage for certain things.
Earth points, as in the screws on the mobo to case? because I have never tamper with it and it was working before the RMAs.
