Hi everyone! I tried to replace my PSU with the MSI MPG A850GF 850W but the debug light on my motherboard started blinking white and there was a clicking sound. After that, I used the old PSU again and everything worked properly. I'm using the new cables and plugged in the CPU label cable. All connections look good. What's going on? Did I make a mistake? I've attached a video showing the issue. One shows the new PSU, the other the old working one. Please help me understand what's happening.

Changing the BIOS settings on the motherboard can often fix the problem.

I took out the CMOS battery, let it sit for a while, then put it back but the issue persisted. Tried with just one RAM stick and nothing changed. Edit: I’m really confused. This was my first time using a fully modular PSU. I missed connecting the second motherboard cable. Feeling really embarrassed.
