Parts:
Cpu: Ryzen 2200G w/ stock cooler
Ram: Single UDIMM 8 GB @ 2666 Mhz
Mobo: Gigabyte B450 AORUS M
No GPU; using cpu's igpu
I don't think any other parts matter in this puzzle, though I will tell if asked.
When I press the power button, several things I'm sure shouldn't happen do.
-There is no output. No display, no power to my keyboard and mouse. Nothing.
-My motherboard has four separate warning lights that turn on whenever something's wrong and should remain off. When I power it on, the warning light for RAM is on from the start, and only ever turns off for the CPU light to flicker on and off, letting the RAM light on again. This happens in cycles that last roughly five seconds.
-The optical disk drive will open and close on the press of its button as normal. When taking a disk, I can hear it spin up and read the disk as normal for a few seconds before stopping completely.
-There is no reset switch on my case. Holding the power button for the usual 5-8 seconds to hard shut off just causes the power LED to flicker. There is no power switch on the back of my power supply. The only way I found to turn it off is to pull the power out of the wall, hence why I've only tried to power it on twice.
-After about five minutes, my PSU started to get much louder than I'd ever heard it before. This makes me suspect that a lack of wattage is to blame, though since I have no previous experience doing this it may be something completely different.
Yes, I've tried tightening all the cables, that was what the second attempt was for.
