I was playing Rust on my computer when it suddenly shut down, and now it won't turn back on at all. I built this PC four years ago and hadn't experienced any issues until now. About two weeks ago, I upgraded my setup for the first time in four years with a new M.2 SSD, and until today, everything seemed perfectly fine. Some RGB lights on the motherboard are still lit up, but aside from that, there's nothing happening. I've tried booting it with just one RAM stick, unplugging the new SSD, and even replacing the CMOS battery, but nothing has worked so far. The power LED on my motherboard is on, which is a good sign, right? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here's a link to a picture of the setup: https://imgur.com/a/computer-WmTxg6p

Sounds like your power supply might have died, especially given the symptoms you described. Most decent brands come with warranties of 5 to 10 years, so I’d recommend checking with the manufacturer for support or to see if you can get a replacement.
Check if your motherboard has any diagnostic LEDs. Those can really help pinpoint where the issue lies if you can see any error indicators.
