310w
16 gb ram (Crucial)
NVME Samsung 740
I7 9700
Latest bios

I have unplugged and replugged the power, but only get a blue led blinking when it powers on.

No boot up or fan power on.

Strange, I seem to have resolved it by holding down the power button for 30 seconds.

Now it is back and working.

I can duplicate and fix the error.

1) Suspend the system
2) Reboot it instead of waking it from sleep; either by holding the power button or unplugging power.

When it starts; the blue LED blinks.
To fix it, suspend again, and this time unsleep it.

I put this off to an "Error between the computer and chair".

Have you resolve the issue?
I have the same issue, blue light blinking while power on; and it automatically turns on after power off.
