The system fails to start.
You recently purchased and assembled your PC. It comes with a Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4 processor, Core i5-13400, 16 GB DDR4-3000 RAM, a Samsung 970 EVO SSD, a 750W power supply, and an RTX 3050 graphics card. You installed it on Windows 11 for two weeks until a video copy caused it to crash. After rebooting, it wouldn’t even start properly. You cleared the CMOS, tried booting with just one RAM stick, verified all connections, checked cables and display, and even ran it without a GPU. No success. Seek further troubleshooting guidance.
I'm not sure. It's possible your NVMe damaged the CPU. However, I'd consider trying a different CPU or checking the motherboard first. Don't forget to return the item for replacement.
The board lacks visible LED indicators to clarify potential problems. A mini speaker port offers code beeps, but you must connect a speaker to hear them—most makers no longer provide these today.
It turned out to be a simple boot problem. Once I removed the PSU and reinstalled it, after starting the system, it worked properly again.
