Hi guys, first i'll leave the specs.
EVGA 600W 80+ Bronze
Asus Prime B450
Ryzen 5 3500
HyperX 2x8Gb 2666Mhz
Corsair MP 510
Be Quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black
RTX 2070 Super

So today was cleaning saturday, and since during the week i've purchased a new CPU cooler i took the oportunity to install everything.
I pulled everything from the case. Cleaned the dust with some air as usual, dissasembled the PSU to take out the hair and lint build up, installed the new CPU Cooler and assembled everything back together. I've done this before with multiple builds, no big deal.
Now, after i try to start my system again. It won't post/boot. The fans will be at 100%, keyboard and mouse will light up but it will stay black.
I proceed to do a CMOS reset, pulled the RAMS and the BIOS battery, waited a couple of minutes and assemble it back. Now i do have POST but with a warning about a bad start, i will add screenshot later. So i press F1, go into the BIOS and i can see my RAMS, the CPU, it seems like everything is working fine.
Save & Exit.
After reboot, it won't POST back, black screen and everything seems to be turned on, Motherboard lights up, all fans at 100%(They usually quiet down after a few seconds but not now). But it doesn't do anything else. I've tried the same thing a couple of times and the behaviour is the same, will post ONCE after i do a CMOS reset but won't after that.
Any clues? Never seen this behaviour before.

UPDATE 1: I've repeated the process i detailed earlier and for some weird reason, i was able to POST and open the SO. Tried a few times but Restart/Shutdown cycle got really slow after the second try. It used to take seconds now it takes quite a long time. Very strange.
The system feels a bit off, could the motherboard be the culprit?

UPDATE 2: I'm having some random key presses on the keyboard when im trying to type. Discovered by accident while changing the USB Port that as soon as i touch the case, the pressing stops. I've replicated this several times now.
Slow boot cycle issue continues even when grounding the case with my foot. Actually painfully slow (almost 120 seconds) for being an NVME.
Could this be summed up as a PSU issue? Grounding issue?
