I powered off my PC after a short sleep cycle and observed that connected peripherals were displaying their RGB lights off. It seemed normal for them to turn off automatically when the system entered sleep mode. However, upon restarting, I noticed no response from the mouse or keyboard, and the power button didn’t bring it back online. The fans spun but the screen remained blank, and even when plugging in my mouse (G102), the lights stayed off despite normal operation. This suggests a potential issue with the motherboard. Since it wasn’t beeping, there was no audible confirmation of failure. Your system specs are noted, and I’m here to help if you need further guidance.

I would attempt to reset the system by erasing the CMOS and checking for an updated BIOS version.

I gave it a shot, but nothing changed. Appreciate the tips! It was similar before, but then reinstalling everything—CPU and GPU—seemed to help.

Here are several possible troubleshooting steps, ordered by increasing severity:
- Verify monitor input settings
- Ensure PSU power cable is firmly attached
- Reinstall all RAM modules
- Replace GPU and clear CMOS
- Disconnect power supply, connect it directly (bridge pins)
- Check voltages with a multimeter
- Inspect each component in a working system

Check for additional mounting points outside the standard screw positions on the motherboard tray. Look for any misalignments or gaps that could cause issues.

That's correct, there isn't any.

I've checked all the connections and confirmed it's using the DP input. I've also re-connected my PSU power cable several times. I tried rebuilding the entire PC, cleared the CMOS as instructed, and did that too. Since I don't have a new battery at the moment, I plan to test it tomorrow. I'm unable to measure voltages on my 24-pin connector right now, so I'll do that next time. Regarding testing components in different systems, everything seems to function, but I'm unsure if the issue lies with the CPU or the motherboard since I don't have AM4 boards. Thanks for your help!

The top choice to eliminate possibilities is remove the motherboard and place it on a wooden surface or cardboard. Connect just one stick of RAM, leaving out any other components, and test functionality.

I concur with LIGISTX's comments and suggest verifying the voltage switch on the PSU. It's possible it was moved during shipping, though I'm not certain if this is relevant.

Thanks for the update. It seems the issue might be related to your power supply unit. Since the system boots but powers off intermittently, the PSU could be the likely cause.
