I recently built a gaming PC, but I'm having trouble with my Asrock X570 Taichi motherboard. It won't stay on. When I press the power button, everything lights up and the components seem to work for about 5 seconds, but then the motherboard shuts off while all the other parts remain lit. I've got a Ryzen 9 3rd Generation CPU with a Mag Coolerliquid A13, 850W PSU, 16GB DDR4 RAM, an AMD Radeon 5700 XT, and a Samsung Evo 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD. I'm not sure what the issue is. Has anyone encountered this before? Also, I have a video demonstrating the problem, but I'm unsure how to share it here.

When you say the motherboard shuts off, do you see any error codes or beep sounds? Those could give clues. Also, confirm your PSU is functional; sometimes, even if lights are on, it might not deliver enough power to the motherboard itself.
Have you checked if your motherboard is grounded properly? If there's any standoff pin touching the back of the board, it might cause it to short out and shut off. Make sure everything is installed correctly.
It sounds like your motherboard might not be getting enough power or has a short somewhere. Since everything lights up initially, check connections like the 24-pin and 8-pin CPU power cables. Also, reseat your RAM and any other components just to be safe. Make sure nothing is touching the back of the motherboard that shouldn't be, as shorts can cause shutdowns like that.
