The PC won’t boot and the CPU cooler halts after a couple of seconds. The screen remains black. I’ve checked the GPU, HDMI, RAM, and reset CMOS and the RAM and GPU. The cooler is still attached to the ASUS TUF B450 PLUS GAMING AMD STOCK CPU.

Have you made any updates to this version?

I didn’t make any changes. The PC was functioning normally before. The issue occurred after I put it to sleep for a few minutes, then tried to turn it back on. It was still in sleep mode when the power button flashed, and turning it off and back on caused the problem.

Could the power switch be broken? Edit: confirmed, the computer appears to boot up...

The computer powers up and lights illuminate, while the fans spin and only the CPU cooler halts after a brief pause

No, there are no diagnostic lights currently on the board.

I didn't find anything related to that. I checked the sources, but nothing came up.

I'm unsure. I'd attempt to change the PSU, GPU, RAM (though this isn't straightforward) (have you reconnected all the cables?) (did you unplug everything unnecessary, like one of those RAM sticks)?

I haven’t replaced every connector. They’re mostly fine, though that’s about it. I’ve tested one stick of RAM.

Suggest a complete repositioning of all connections, starting with the main power cable. Experiment by removing non-essential components to determine if progress continues during startup. If you have a PC speaker (the coin-shaped one with two wires), connect it and listen for a beep code. Without one, you can purchase a basic model for under $5.
