Hey everyone! I'm new here and could really use your expertise. I've been using my PC build for about three months now, and I've run into a frustrating issue. Sometimes it boots up just fine, but most of the time, the display doesn't show anything at all. My setup includes a Steampunk 750W PSU, an ASUS B550M Wifi motherboard, a Gigabyte RX 6600 GPU, a Ryzen 5 5600X processor, and 32GB of Orico 3200MHz RAM, all paired with an AIO cooler.
The odd part is that I can usually get it to boot by leaving it unplugged for a day or so, but that's obviously not a solution. I've already tried reseating the GPU and RAM, resetting the CMOS, and checking the PCIe connections. It's getting really annoying since I rely on it often. Any troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!

I had a similar problem with the AMD RX 6000 series. Eventually, my card failed completely, so keep an eye on it. If reseating doesn't fix it, you might want to consider the possibility of a failing GPU.
I build PCs on the side, and I've seen this issue a few times lately. Each time, reseating the CPU fixed it for me. Give that a try and see if it helps!
Next thing I will try! If that doesn't work, do you think the GPU might be the issue?
So... does this mean my PC is on its way out?
