My computer functioned perfectly for weeks with stable temperatures; nothing seemed amiss. However, while playing Valorant it suddenly stopped working except the RAM, which remained off. This occurred three times, and after the third incident my PC wouldn’t power on at all. I removed the CMOS and reconnected the power supply cables. The attached files are IMG_1331.MOV, IMG_1331.MOV, IMG_1331.MOV.

Do you have a speaker connected to your MOBO that emits "Error Beeps"? That might help identify the problem. If not, I'd begin by re-seating your RAM and GPU. It's possible they've shifted out of place and aren't properly linked to their slots. Next, I'd inspect your PSU (Power Supply) to ensure it's delivering the correct voltages. If needed, you can test it with a multimeter. Someone else might offer useful tips!

What are your complete specifications? If that doesn't work, I'll remove everything except the CPU, install just one RAM stick, use a 24-pin motherboard, and connect the 4/8 pin CPU power. If you don't have an integrated GPU, you'll also need to mount the GPU for display. If it boots fine with this setup, proceed by adding components one at a time and test each one. If it fails, try swapping in another RAM stick or slot.
