The new CPU and motherboard aren't functioning properly.
Yeah, that's odd. I keep telling myself to give it a shot. I've experienced some really odd stuff when the PSU failed—like HDDs or SSDs not working, random crashes, boot loops, and so on. But everything usually settles down after a while.
When attempting to activate the system, you notice a clicking noise followed by silence—no illumination or background sounds. Is that sound originating from the power supply unit?
Ensure SSD and HDD aren't linked to the PSU or motherboard. Focus on CPU placement. Verify if any pins are bent or damaged. Test RAM modules one at a time in various slots. Reset CMOS after each attempt with a different slot combination.
