I disconnected all components except the power supply to see if it would revive the system. Lights appeared on the motherboard and GPU, but when attempting to boot, nothing happened—no response from either the motherboard or the case. I've tested various power outlets, though I suspect the issue might not be with the cable or outlet. Could it be something else? Thanks for any assistance.

ASUS Rog Maximus XI Hero Wi-Fi motherboard with Intel Z390 chipset and DDR4 RAM. Believe it's been around for about seven years.

It seems your board has performed well and has withdrawn. The only suggestion I can make is to take out the motherboard battery to check its impact.

Thanks! I'll attempt that later when I have some time after work.
