Why is my PC randomly not powering on after moving?

I recently moved, and after that, my PC has been acting up. I've reseated all the components and cables, but it only powers on for a day or sometimes up to five days at a time before it becomes completely unresponsive the next day. I've tried a CMOS reset, a power flush, updated the BIOS, replaced the RAM, shorted the power switch, and reseated the 24-pin connector. When I did a paperclip test on my RM 850x PSU, it spun briefly, so I think it's still okay with its zero RPM feature. My guess is that the B450 Aorus M motherboard might be failing, but before I replace it, I want to explore all options. If it turns out to be the motherboard, could anyone suggest a good replacement or upgrade that would work with my existing parts? I'd prefer not to have to buy anything more than the motherboard if possible!

Yeah, I actually have a Ryzen 3600X. It could definitely be a motherboard issue. If you need a replacement, I'd recommend looking at newer models like the MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max or ASUS ROG Strix B450-F. They're solid upgrades without needing to swap out your other components.

Do you have a Ryzen 3600 CPU in your setup? Sometimes the compatibility or settings with the motherboard can cause these issues.
