I recently upgraded my PC components, swapping out from an R5 3600 with 16GB RAM and a 650W GOLD RMX power supply to an R7 5800X3D, 32GB RAM, and an 850W GOLD RM power supply. However, I'm encountering a problem where the PC only stays on for less than a second when I try to power it up. I'm suspecting the power supply might be faulty. Has anyone experienced this or have any advice on how to troubleshoot? Thanks in advance!

Try plugging your old power supply back in and see if your system boots. Sometimes, the new PSU might not be fully compatible or has issues. It's an easy check that might save you a lot of trouble!
Thanks for the suggestion! I swapped it back to the old PSU, and it booted up just fine. Looks like that was the issue!
