Hey everyone, I assembled this PC about a year ago and it didn’t boot yesterday. No error codes appeared, so I checked the EZ Debug LEDs and both the CPU and RAM weren’t detected or failed. I tried starting without any USB or PCIe connections and with just one RAM stick, but nothing worked. I also flashed the BIOS, but the LED lit up when I pressed a button then stayed off afterward. I followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTkXunUAriE. After removing the cooler and verifying the pins, everything looked fine. I’m not sure what’s missing. This is my first build, I’ve used laptops before, but I think I’m still learning. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

System specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 7700X
- Motherboard: MSI X670p
- RAM: Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) @ 5600MT/s
- GPU: ZOTAC 4070Ti
- Storage: Samsung 980 PRO NVMe M.2 PCIe4 SSD, 1TB PSU: Corsair RM850X

Ensure all connections are properly seated, paying close attention to the 24-pin MB connector. Check for any signs of damage such as bulging capacitors. Then attempt to reinsert the CPU and restart using each RAM slot. If this doesn't resolve the issue, consider clearing the CMOS by removing the battery for a short period. Keep in mind you'll need to re-enable XMP settings afterward. That's the best I can suggest—good luck!

You're not alone in this confusion. The issue could stem from various parts, and it's hard to say without more details. Have you checked the power supply, motherboard, or CPU? It's possible one of those components is faulty.
