My PC won't start until I cut the power to the PSU and plug it back in. I've already changed out the power supply unit, which came with all its cables connected to my motherboard. I also swapped out the RAM and checked every connection again. I even tried starting the computer without attaching a GPU. I'm running Windows 11. The BIOS is fully up to date as are all other programs and software updates. My hardware specs include an Asus ROG Z790E WiFi Intel i7-14700KF Fury Beast, DDR5 RAM with 32 GB, a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super, Samsung 990 PRO SSDs (both 1 TB and 2 TB), Lian Li GALAHAD II case fans, and a hub.

Which power supplies (PSUs) are these? Same one, or a different model? Was it working okay before? Did I swap out the cables too? Do I have to use the cables from the new PSU? Check my RAM for errors with memtest and replace that CMOS battery.

I changed my PSU from EVGA to a Cooler Master. Both are 1000-watt units. I swapped out cables, used a cooler master cable mod with an evga, removed the old one and used what came with the cooler master ram and memory test ran. But I switched my ram out just to see if it was good too. I replaced the cmos battery as well.

SFC and DISM are working well on their own.
