Motherboard : Gigabyte Z790 with AX GPU 3060 (12) GB CPU i7-12700k RAM Patriot Viper 32 Gb PSU Thermaltake 750 Watt Bronze I recently changed the CPU from i5-12400f to i7-12700k and cleaned the system, everything functioned properly for three weeks. I attempted to restart it but it wouldn't wake up. I verified power connections and even tried bridging the PSU as shown in a tutorial, which worked. The 24-pin connector plugged in but the PC still wouldn't turn on—no fans spinning, no lights. I accidentally left the PSU connected without turning it off, and the RGB display flashed briefly afterward. The issue resolved after that incident. Is there anything further you could try to confirm it's the motherboard?

Did you verify the connection of the cable? If not, the issue might be with the motherboard rather than the power supply unit.
