I was on holiday and had my PC unplugged for about two months. Now when I came back I plug my PC in go to turn it on and everything turns on, but after a few moments the GPU fans stop spinning and the GPU logo stops being lit up and it does boot. What could the problem be?
The GPU is a Radeon 7900 XT.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5.

Edit: I tested booting the PC with the CPU's built in GPU and it didn't work so the problem isn't the GPU.

Check to see if all connections to all components, to and from your PSU, are fully seated. Disconnect and reconnect them while the PC is powered down and disconnected from the wall.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:

OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

I forgot to mention that I do not know the BIOS version. It is an older version maybe a bit older than 1.5 years
