The issue might involve a problem with the computer crashing, and there could be several causes to consider.

I was playing a video game when I began to notice flickering on my screen right after my system would crash and required several restarts. Eventually, it just failed completely and the CPU light turned on.
I tried reseating my RAM, swapping out the old graphics card, and reapplying thermal paste to the CPU, but nothing helped.
After these troubleshooting steps, I switched to an older CPU, and instead of seeing the CPU light, the DRAM light appeared.
All my components are around three months old, except my RAM and motherboard, which are about six to seven years old.
what cpu, motherboard, psu, ram, and gpu are you currently using? which other cpu have you tried?
Current components
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
GPU: 6800xt
Power Supply: 750W sama x series
Motherboard: B450 ATX
The CPU I attempted after was for troubleshooting
Previous build: CPU- ryzen 5 2600, GPU RX 580
These are just spare parts from my last assembly.
I've been using this setup well until recently, then it just stopped working.
which b450 mb model? reset BIOS using the previous CPU and attempt to boot again.
