Hey everyone! I need some help with my PC. It suddenly turned off a few weeks ago and hasn't turned back on since. After some diagnostics, I figured the power supply was likely the problem, so I replaced it with a Bequiet Pure Power 13m 1000w. The old PSU was a Corsair CX550F RGB.
Unfortunately, even after the swap, the PC still won't power on. I've double-checked all the connections numerous times, and I'm not reusing any cables from the old PSU. This is my first time doing a PSU replacement, so I might be overlooking something simple. I doubt it's the CPU or motherboard since I inspected them for any damage, like burnt capacitors, before buying the new PSU.
Also, I noticed the new PSU doesn't have a dedicated RGB port, and the SATA/drives connector is 5-pin instead of 6. Here are my specs and pictures of my setup: [specs](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JTYTW9) and [pictures](https://imgur.com/a/EUrUOBd). Any thoughts on what could be going wrong?

It sounds like the PSU might not be the issue after all. I’d recommend rechecking your motherboard and CPU connections. Sometimes it’s something simple that’s easy to overlook!
Did you change the cables when you installed the new PSU? Sometimes those connections can be tricky. It’s crucial to make sure you’re using the right cables that came with the new power supply.
