Did your power supply unit come with a built-in self-test feature? Many premium PSUs have this, but if not, you can perform a manual check using a paperclip method. Look up straightforward guides online for easy steps.

Have you checked if there are any fixes already attempted? Just disconnect the power cable from the PSU and take out the 24-pin connector from the motherboard. Press the PC case power button a few times, then reattach everything and see if it works.

Consider taking out the 24-pin connector. It might be because the PSU protection activated and sometimes removing that pin along with the power cable also causes it. Alternatively, the PSU could sense a short in the system and trigger protection. Verify all cables are securely attached to the 24-pin, 4/8-pin motherboard, GPU, drives, etc. If a short exists, remove unnecessary components until the system powers on and remains stable. Try booting with only essential parts and inspect for issues like a faulty GPU, RAM, or failing drives. Check CPU socket reset BIOS settings.
