I just finished my new custom build and when I press the power switch, it shows a tiny spark of life before everything shuts down again. If I hadn’t noticed the slight movement, I’d have assumed the power switch was faulty, but then I saw that everything would briefly turn on until it failed. The fans on the case spin, the CPU fan spins, and my GPU fans spin for an extremely short moment before dying once more. The strangest thing is that the RGB lights on the RAM stay on. I initially thought it was training the RAM, but after about 30 minutes it was still dead except for the RGB lighting. There are no debug LEDs on the motherboard either. Please let me know your thoughts—I really need your help.

Are all the cables securely connected and are all the front panel connections intact?
Inspect the cabling thoroughly and replace any that are loose before proceeding.
Reinstall the components in the correct order, beginning with the RAM, GPU, and only then the CPU (consider applying thermal paste later after removing the CPU).

I really wish I could avoid it, just so I don't harm the LGA socket.
