I assembled the PC roughly three weeks back and it functioned perfectly. I verified all components, executed tests, and confirmed everything operated smoothly. Games like Minecraft, Valorant, and Elden Ring ran without issues until recently. When I powered on, the system failed to boot. The debug LEDs displayed CPU and RAM statuses. I attempted every possible fix—reassembling parts, checking for damage, reseating connectors, reinstalling CMOS, updating BIOS, turning off the PSU, testing with a single stick, and even trying without the GPU. I also tried different power outlets. Despite thorough troubleshooting, the issue persists. My only guess is the PC is connected to a switch-controlled power source; maybe the switch was flipped. No clear cause identified yet. The machine was last used about a day ago for checking emails. I’m uncertain whether it’s RAM, CPU, or something else missing. It sat idle then, and I haven’t noticed any signs of failure. The PCPartPicker list is attached for reference.

It seems the issue might not have destroyed your PC, but using a switched socket isn't advisable. I’d prefer to avoid the switch so power stays steady on the socket. If damage is suspected, testing components in another machine can help pinpoint the problem. Start with the PSU, RAM, and CPU, then proceed step by step. Let me know if you need more guidance.

Updated the RAM to the new model and it functioned perfectly. The team group T-Create DDR5-6000 cl30 is working smoothly. It seems the SP will likely recover from the damaged RAM, everything should be fine. Thanks!
