So as said in the title I completely stripped down my PC to clean it and then when I reassembled it, it wouldn't post at all. The DRAM Q-LED is lit up orange and the motherboard reads 00.

My specs are:
  • Asus strix X570-E
  • Ryzen 7 5800x
  • MSI Gaming Z Trio 3080
  • 32GB DDR4 RAM
  • Corsair HX 1000 PSU
  • NZXT Kraken z63 AIO
I have already tried reseating the GPU, CPU and RAM. I have tried different RAM as that is the only compatible spare parts that I have access to.

My worry is that somehow the motherboard died during me cleaning it

In case anyone else is looking at this post with a similar problem. I fixed this by getting a replacement motherboard from the seller and it is working normally now

Unfortunately, I can't be more specific than saying that all of the original components work with the new motherboard and, as I cleaned all components with compressed air, I guess I wasn't as careful as I probably should have been when unplugging components and handling it
