Current specs:
Ryzen 5 3600
RX 6800 XT
ESgaming 650w PSU
32gb 3600mhz Ram (quad channel)
Ag400 cooler (overkill I know)
MSI B550M VC motherboard
Aerocool Cyclon RGB Mid Tower Case
So initially my PC build was an Ryzen 5 3600 with an RTX 2080 Super. I've been thinking about upgrading recently, so I bought the bullet with an Rx 6800 XT and a Ryzen 5 5600x. I then proceeded to switch out then CPU and gpu's only to find out the system wouldn't boot up at all. The system did lit up, the fans were spinning, but nothing would display. I switched out to the 3600 and everything booted normally. I thought I had to update the bios, so I did that. Tried both cpus and nothing worked. I then though maybe the 5600x was faulty since it felt a bit wobbly in the AM4 socket (I bought it off eBay; probably a bad idea).
Since nothing would boot up, I then proceeded to think it was the motherboard, so I got a new motherboard from Amazon; the one shown in current specs, and I set everything up and got a new cooler for it,, as shown. I tried everything to the best of my ability, and again, nothing would boot up. I did manage to get the PC to light up with RGB and the fans spinning once by moving the GPU a bit in the pcie slot,, but again, nothing would display.
A big reoccurrence would be the RGB on the GPU and case would light up for 1 split second then turns off; no fans would spin.
I also checked the PSU to see if it was working with the appear clip method, and the fans on that spun, so it is indeed working. Could it be that I need a higher wattage PSU? I switched the GPU with my backup, an R9 380 just to make sure and it still didn't boot.
I'm at a loss for words as to what's going on. It can't be the motherboard since it's brand new, it can't be the PSU since it works stand alone. I assume my 2 GPUs also work because it would be super strange if both of them were to die randomly. Maybe it's my CPU that's the issue? Can anyone help or give me some advice? Everything looks properly plugged in, and I'm at a loss for words on what to do. My last build with the 2080 super worked flawlessly, and I never had trouble with that. Any ideas?
Forgot to mention that the case fan is missing. I'm getting a new one, but the PC should still boot fine without one?
