My computer fails to power on after modifying a few parts. The CPU and DRAM indicators illuminate on the PSC when I power it up.

The parts I replaced were:
PSU, motherboard, CPU cooler, and the case.

I attempted various solutions:
- Swapped all previous components back.
- Tested with another set of RAM sticks.
- Powered it on with only the CPU connected.
- Checked if all connections were secure.

Additional details:
The motherboard includes a CD, which I haven’t used yet. According to the manual, it doesn’t mention anything about it. I’m unsure if this is relevant, but the cooler isn’t properly aligned with the CPU despite matching the socket. Its mounting plate might not fit the motherboard correctly.

Specifications:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- RAM: VENGEANCE® LPX 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16
- GPU: MSI NVidia GeForce 2070 Super
- Motherboard: ASRock B550 PG Riptide
- Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Chromax.Black
- Case: Pop XL silent
- PSU: Inter-Tech Argus GPS-800 800W
- OS: Arch Linux and Windows 10 dual boot (Linux is my daily driver)

Welcome to the forums, newcomer! The parts I replaced were:
PSU, motherboard, cpu cooler, and the case.
We need to compare the specs before and after the upgrade. One for the original setup and one after the changes.
PSU: Inter-Tech Argus GPS-800 800W
https://www.inter-tech.de/productdetails...00_EN.html
This seems like a low-quality unit.
Have you tried breadboarding your platform?
RAM: VENGEANCE® LPX 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16
Do you have a link to the RAM kit?
I’m not sure if this is important, but the new cooler isn’t properly aligned with the CPU even though it matches the socket. It looks like the mounting plate might not fit the motherboard correctly.
Please include images. The host shared them on a site similar to Imgur, and then send the link here so we can review them.
