Basic specifications:
Motherboard: Gigabyte b450m ds3h V2
GPU: Gigabyte 2060 Super windforce oc
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
PSU: Corsair CX550m
For the past couple of days my computer has stopped functioning properly.
I changed RAM slots, re-seated everything, and reconnected all cables. Initially, I lost signal to the monitor, but after unplugging the monitor and then reconnecting it, it worked again. Now it’s not even reaching the BIOS screen, and there’s no power reaching my keyboard.
Additionally, a red flashing light appears on top of my case next to the power button, which lights up whenever the SSD is active but stays off. My GPU emits a brief white light that turns off after a second. The speaker is plugged in but producing no sound.
Previously, it would post because I experienced noises from my headset, and I could log in and shut down using a Windows keyboard shortcut.
My CPU lacks built-in graphics, so I can’t test without a GPU. No one nearby has a spare to try.
Any suggestions on what might have gone wrong would be very helpful. Thanks.
I plan to replace the CMOS battery tomorrow; if that fails, I’ll swap it out.

I just restarted and got one long beep plus two-thirds short. It looks like a GPU error, which means my GPU might be failing. I'm planning to clean the connectors tomorrow using a rubber and some alcohol, hoping it works.
