I purchased a Red Dragon 850-watt RGB power supply unit.
I connected all the cords and verified everything was correctly plugged in.
The motherboard activated and the GPU began to flicker. The RGB lighting on the PSU didn’t turn on, nor did the fan.
I suspected a faulty PSU, so I unplugged everything and ran a test.
After reconnecting, the PSU RGB lit up and the fan started working.
Once I reinserted all components into the motherboard and GPU, the PSU RGB still didn’t activate. The motherboard lit up but the GPU continued to flicker.
I’m not sure if the issue lies with the motherboard or any other part. Should I replace the PSU or is there another reason?
I’m unsure if the specifications matter here. Here they are:
Specs
CASE - Corsair 5000D
MOTHERBOARD - ASUS ROG Strix B650-A Gaming Wifi 6E
CPU - AMD 7600x
GPU - Yeston AMD 7800XT Sakura edition
RAM - SKILL Flare X5 Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MT/s CL36-36-36-96 1.35V
SSD - WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X
PSU - Redragon RGPS-850W

I figured out the problem, it seems the RAM is dead. Thanks for the help, but I'm not sure how to delete the post.
