When your hard drive starts clicking and space is scarce you know the end is neigh. But my files are large and cloud services are expensive. That's why I use my #QNAP TS-032X and #RunWithIronWolf so I can have peace of mind knowing all my data is safe. With NAS, I can safely store all my files...

BSODs should have reports in event viewer that might help diagnose the problem

Hmm. I know this is stupid but make sure the monitor is on and nothing is loose on the gpu or monitor. I had an instance where I went and bought another hdmi cable thinking mine wasn't working only to find out my cable just needed a little nudge. As for other things to try... Use a different...

It woln't boot into the bios? Turn on at all? I'd find it unlikely that the drive just quit when you added some new hardware. Any possibility it was damaged?

Go into windows event logs and let us know what error you get. It should be under critical. Besides reinstalling windows is there anything else that may have changed to the system? Overclocks, new hardware, ect. Any information might help. My suspicion is that the system is overheating but that...

If i'm not mistaken you can recover windows by registering it to a Microsoft account. Just make sure you download the correct version because windows doesn't downgrade from pro to home for example. I'd look into this a bit more though as I haven't done it and wouldn't want you to lose windows...

Try plugging into your gpu instead of the motherboard. The ryzen 3600 doesn't have integrated graphics

lol. Enjoy your new system. :)

I'd put my money on the mb but its hard to say without the ability to swap parts. I found an older thread that might be insightful tho. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/hit-power-buton-cpu-fan-spins-for-half-a-second-then-stops-spin-and-stop-forever-no-booting.3034486/

Maybe try plugging your monitor into the motherboard rather than your card. You woln't be able to play games this way but I'm curious if it still stutters. I don't think it's your new psu but it could be a pin on the mb. You could also try moving your card down a slot. Obviously this isn't...

The system booted up when you disconnected your cpu cable power cable from the psu? I think I'm misinterpreting this? My initial thoughts are that your front panel connector for the case power button is installed incorrectly or that one of your cables on the psu/motherboard are loose. Did you...

Given how long it took to boot up I would say its most likely a problem with the hard drive. A new SSD and another stick of ram would help a ton I imagine. Open up something simple like task manager and it'll most likely highlight your problem areas and any potential resource hogs. Disabling...

What is that crud coming off the screws? The larger ones. Also my first thought is some sort of overheating but the screws look like corrosion of some sort? Hard to tell when I zoom.

I would begin troubleshooting to pinpoint where the problem is. Is the system is overheating? Fan failed? Gpu could be damaged. It might be as simple as trying a different sata cable or port. Its possible you left a cable a tiny bit loose. I would look at drives and your video card first.
