I was playing Apex Legend with a friend when my PC crashed and all my data vanished. I couldn't do anything except shut it down using the power button. When I tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't respond and I was left with a DRAM LED on the motherboard. I've replaced the motherboard two months ago—it's the third one in almost two years. I've already cleared the CMOS and changed the RAM, but nothing has worked. Someone could help me out, that would be really appreciated. I've attached a picture of my specs. My current board is a B450 Aorus Elite.

I don’t have any tests to run, so I’ll need to purchase a new one. Also, another issue—after trying to power up the PC, it didn’t respond. Could you confirm if you were able to shut it down using the power button on the case? Since the buttons aren’t working now, what happened next?

You're unlikely to succeed without a motherboard with built-in power controls. Simply switch off the power supply unit to disable it. This won't damage the system if you're not using any peripherals.
