I recently put together a new PC with the following specs and it's been running fine for about six months: RX 9070 XT, NZXT N7 B650e Motherboard, Corsair Dominator DDR5 64GB RAM, Ryzen 7800X3D, 4TB NVME, and a Corsair RM1000x PSU. I haven't overclocked anything except for a PS5 controller, which only affects the USB port it's connected to, and that was a week ago. During a gaming session, my PC suddenly shut off and now it won't turn back on. The power is still working in the outlet and the lights are on, so it's not an outage. However, the PSU makes a single click when I try to turn it back on.

Honestly, I've seen this exact PSU fail way too often. It really sounds like your PSU is shot. I recommend contacting Corsair for a replacement. By the way, 1000W is overkill for your setup; you'd probably be fine with an 850W model, which are known to fail less often. Maybe Corsair can swap it for one of those for you.
Yeah, it turned out to be the PSU for me too. I tested it with my brother's PSU and the PC fired right up!
