I recently upgraded my PC by installing an RTX 5070 instead of my old 3060 Ti, added two Patriot 16GB RAM sticks to replace my previous 8GB sticks, and replaced my old PSU with a Cooler Master MWE V2 Gold 750W. Now, every time I power up my PC, there's a chance it will stay on a black screen. All fans and lights (in the keyboard and mouse) are functioning normally, and sometimes I see the motherboard logo, but other times I don't. When Windows does boot, it runs perfectly fine for the rest of the day. Can anyone help me understand what might be causing this issue or if it could lead to any other problems? Here are my current specs: motherboard: B550M-A PRO, GPU: 5070 FE, CPU: 5 5600X, RAM: Patriot 2 x 16GB 3200MHz CL16 Viper Steel, PSU: Cooler Master MWE GOLD-V2 750W 80 Plus Gold, and I have one M2 and two SATA SSDs.

Have you tried reseating the RAM sticks? Sometimes a connection issue can cause boot problems. You could also swap them back to your old RAM one at a time to see if that's where the issue is coming from.
Yeah, I tried that, but it gave me the same results unfortunately. :/
