Hello, my computer has stopped functioning unexpectedly. When I try to power it up, the CPU fan begins spinning and the LAN lights activate, but it doesn’t start up properly. The speaker works fine, yet it doesn’t produce the single beep sound, and there’s no display. The VGA connection is active and linked to the board specifications: an ASUS AM1M-A with an AMD 5350 processor. Recently, I connected five GPUs via risers. To resolve this, I disabled the 3.0 asmedia controller and the HD audio controller in the BIOS. Everything seemed normal. I planned to add a sixth GPU but had to turn off the LAN controller. After connecting a USB to the Ethernet adapter and launching Windows, it worked. Once I switched it back on, it provided internet via the USB. After turning it off, re-enabling it and putting in the sixth GPU, it failed to POST again. What I attempted: completely powering down everything (including cables), removing all GPUs and just leaving the board, CPU, and SSD (also tried without SSD). I also tried resetting by turning off and on all components, disconnecting each GPU, and then using the CMOS battery for a few hours or shorting the CMOS pins. Removing RAM caused it to beep when trying to power it. Any further advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Five GPUs in use. Are you running a specific brand and power supply unit?

They sit on risers and splitters, so minimal current should reach the board, shouldn't it? The 750W whisper modular PSU looks capable.
