I've been troubleshooting my first PC build since yesterday, but I'm stuck. I'm confident that I've assembled all the parts correctly and checked online for compatibility. The wiring should be done right too, but when I press the power button, nothing happens. No lights on the motherboard and I'm unable to do an out-of-case test. By the way, I forgot to mention my GPU in my specs. Here are the details of my build: MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 (850w PSU), NZXT H5 Flow RGB (2024 case), Gigabyte B550M GAMING X WIFI6 (motherboard), Samsung 990 EVO Plus (m.2 SSD), AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (CPU), Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x16GB RAM), and Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9060 XT (GPU).

Can you give more details on the symptoms? When you hit the power button, what exactly happens? Are there any indicators on the motherboard, like LEDs? Have you attempted to flash the BIOS? Also, make sure your GPU is connected properly and that you're using it for the display instead of the motherboard's output.
To troubleshoot, try booting with just one stick of RAM in the A2 slot and see if that helps. Sometimes, RAM can be faulty. Also, if possible, share some pictures of your build for better advice. It might be helpful!
I had trouble uploading pics too, but it's tough without visuals. Maybe take some and try again!
I did that as well and couldn't share them here either. So frustrating!
There are no LEDs lighting up, and pressing the button does nothing. So it seems like it's completely dead.
