Hey everyone! I just set up my PC after moving, and it worked fine at first. However, now it's completely dead with no signs of life or error codes. I've tried a bunch of things like booting with integrated graphics, re-seating the RAM, checking the power connections, and even using different peripherals. The only time I've had this issue before was because my keyboard was plugged into the case instead of the motherboard, but that hasn't fixed it this time. My setup includes a 7600x3d CPU, Asus B650 Tuf motherboard, 32GB of G.Skill DDR5 RAM, a Corsair RM750 power supply, a Gigabyte 3090 GPU, and both a Crucial P1 boot drive and Samsung storage. I also cleared the CMOS and checked the CPU fan connection. I'm running out of ideas, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Sometimes if there’s a power issue, flipping the PSU switch off and then back on can help. If it works after that, it might indicate a deeper issue, so I'd take a look at all the power cables and connections just to be safe!
It sounds like your power supply might be the issue. I suggest checking it with a PSU tester if you have one. They usually give a clear indication of whether the PSU is working properly.
I didn't have a tester, but I used a paperclip and followed the pinout guide for my Corsair PSU. No voltage on any pins, so it looks like the PSU is the problem. I'm checking on the warranty since I bought it in 2020!
Yeah, seems like the PSU is the culprit here. I unplugged it and tested with a multimeter, and no voltage on any pins when shorting the startup pin. Hope it's still under warranty!
