PC isn't starting up right now, but it's happening suddenly.
Hey there! I have a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite board. I'm running it with 32GB of Kingston RAM in Crucial P3 storage, powered by an LYNX PSU. The case is fine too. This PC has been running for over three months.
I stayed away from the house for two days. When I got back and turned the PC on like usual, I heard a loud noise that sounded like a cable was stuck in a fan. But when I looked inside, there was no cable. I tried again, and it started up, but now there is no screen. I see a red light on my CPU that says "CPU" on the motherboard. The front panel power button works to turn things on, but if you hold it down, nothing happens (it shouldn't turn off when held).
I've already tried using just one stick of RAM, reseating the parts, and repasting the CPU. I also reset my CMOS by taking the computer apart and shorting the pins. I even unplugged all the unused hard drives and CD-ROMs. Now I'm really stuck here. What should I do? Is something broken?
