I'm new to PCs and have been enjoying gaming on a new system for a few months. Everything was working great until yesterday when I pressed the power button and noticed that there was no display and my peripherals weren't powering on at all. I've checked all the connections, both sticks of RAM and their slots, and even reconnected my GPU. I'm out of ideas to try, aside from swapping the power supply. If it were a power supply issue, would the lights on my GPU still light up? The fans do show RGB and are spinning. Is there anything else I can try? I'm feeling a bit stuck and unsure of what to do next.

You might want to do a CMOS reset. There's a small battery on your motherboard; if you take it out for about 10 seconds and then put it back in, that could help. Give that a shot!
Thanks for the tip! Does my motherboard definitely have a CMOS battery though? It's an ASUS® PRIME A620M-K.
