The PC won't start after swapping out some parts.
My computer won't turn on after I swapped out a few parts. When I try to power it up, the light bar turns on but nothing else happens. The pieces I took out were the power supply unit, motherboard, CPU cooler, and case. Here is what I tried: I put everything back in. I tested it with new RAM sticks. I turned it on without the CPU attached. I checked if every wire was connected tight. Also, the new cooler isn't sitting perfectly against the processor even though it fits the socket, so maybe my mounting plate is wrong? My hardware specs include an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with two big sticks of RAM (64GB total), a graphics card, and a lot of power from an Inter-Tech PSU. The software I run is Arch Linux with Windows on it too.
Welcome to our community! The parts I replaced were: power supply, motherboard, CPU cooler, and case. We need to know both the old specs and the new ones after my upgrade. PSU: Inter-Tech Argus GPS-800 800W (https://www.inter-tech.de/productdetails...00_EN.html) ^ this model seems super cheap. Have you tried putting RAM on a breadboard to check it? RAM: VENGEANCE® LPX 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz Link to the RAM kit? I don't know if this matters, but my new cooler isn't perfectly aligned with the CPU even though it fits the socket. Maybe the mounting plate isn't right for the motherboard? Please include pictures. The host said images are on a site like Imgur and then passed a link here so we can see them.

Second image is the top of the cpu where you can see that the cooler doesn't cover it completely. The last image is the bottom of the cpu where you can see the cooler extending further down then the cpu. https://imgur.com/a/XKhX1SY View: https://imgur.com/a/XKhX1SY
