Neither machine is starting or functioning properly, only fans and RGB lights are active. I’ve checked everything—different boards, CPUs, RAM, GPUs, storage, ports, cables, power supplies, and even tried reseating components. I’ve also swapped out cases, cables, power supplies, and even used a different RAM stick. The issue seems consistent across both PCs. On PC 1, I noticed possible corrosion on the motherboard and PCIe slot, but PC 2 is still showing signs of life. It’s frustrating and confusing, and I’m seriously considering replacing the whole setup if it doesn’t work.

Check if the circuit is too full and see if other devices share the same outlets.

I felt identical to you, yet after shutting off everything in my room and checking all the wall sockets, nothing was working. I even tested other devices in the same sockets, and they all functioned properly.

That's my idea—I was playing CSGO and accidentally caused a circuit issue with five computers connected to two outlets and a PSU.

Is this a new issue? Have you used these two computers before in this setup? I'm curious about the room's grounding. Have you tested the PCs in another room?

Sure, here are some images of the PCs. Let me know if you need anything else!

Based on the motherboard, if it isn't posting, you'll see lights showing a problem or a few 7-segment displays.

yes, the motherboards have leds that show if something is wrong like gpu or cpu or motherboard or ram, but no leds come on. it brings no display to the monitor either. and videos to show pc and no display and the fans turning off on the gpu after a while. this is pc 2 because pc 1 is fully disassembled E5969603-9657-48EB-A1E4-E395A95350B4.mp4 B8097BA1-6FEC-4A70-9F10-7D956753F90F.mp4

it's not entirely obvious if you've exhausted this issue, but this is my best interpretation. the pc isn't responding which suggests a memory or processor problem and all the lights are activating, making me believe the bios was corrupted during a faulty power restart or the cpu was damaged in a similar manner. this scenario is less likely if you don't have the full manual here https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/So...odel=PRIME A320M-K
