When I power on my PC, all the fans, GPU, and motherboard activate but no output appears. The VGA LED lights up and remains active. After waiting a few seconds, I press the reset button and the system boots normally. Is there a defective component? All the new parts listed are functioning correctly.

Are the switch headers correctly connected in their designated positions?

It seems you're curious about the initial steps of resetting something. Would you like to know more about that process?

Turn off the device completely and reset the switches. Then connect the bridge power contacts using a screwdriver or similar metal tool. This action will restore functionality.

Update, now it starts up to Windows using the power button as usual but the VGA indicator remains active. After pressing the reset button, it resets properly, yet the VGA light on the motherboard turns off. I've also tried reconnecting the GPU and swapping it with another one, but the problem persists.
