I built my computer a few months ago with an ASRock 850 Pro RS motherboard, a Ryzen 7 9800X 3D, and 32GB of Kingston RAM. Earlier today, while I was using it, the system completely froze up and now it won't boot at all. I checked for any physical damage but didn't see any bent or burnt CPU pins. What could be causing this issue, and how can I troubleshoot it?

Since your PC froze before this happened, it might give us some clues. Did it freeze suddenly, or was it slowing down first? It's worth disconnecting all peripherals and trying to boot with just one RAM stick. Sometimes a simple hardware tweak can make all the difference. Also, can you access BIOS by hitting F11 during startup?
Hey! It sounds like you're dealing with some frustrating boot issues. When you say it doesn't boot, can you clarify a bit? Are you seeing a black screen, or does your motherboard show any error codes? You mentioned the fans are spinning, which is a good sign, but those red and yellow lights indicate a potential DRAM or CPU problem. Have you tried reseating the RAM or testing with just one stick?
Yeah, I’ve tried different RAM sticks and checked for bent pins, but no luck yet!
