This is what I got
Case is Fractal Design Focus G Mid-Tower Case

Motherboard is
Gigabyte B650M Gaming Plus wifi.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU
Memory: 32GB T-Force RGB DDR5
Cooler for CPU is Arctic Freezer 36
Graphics card : Geforce GTX 550 Ti (I plan to upgrade later).
Power Supply: Seasonic Model SSR-500GB

I got it all together. I hooked up CPU power, motherboard power connector, and the Geforce GTX 550Ti power connector, but no post. I'm not really using this for gaming so much, so I don't need the latest and greatest graphics card. The memory upgrade is good enough for me alone, coming from a computer that I had from 2011, this is a major upgrade.

When I turn it on, nothing happens. The memory sticks glow, and all the fans turn on. It seems they are moving too slowly. So I thought it was the power supply at first. So I tried 3 different power supplies. This first one I already listed. The second one is a Silencer 500 EPS12V. Both are 500 watts the silencer is older but has a lot more amps on the rails. Then I still thought it was the power supply.

So I went out and bought a RM850e corsair thinking the computer needed more watts; otherwise, it wouldn't post. All three had the same results. Very slow fans, no post. No beep noises, no anything.

So I decided to try even an older graphics card and got no results. I got this as a combo deal. So I don't want to let it go and return it just yet.

I'm getting the same results. Any ideas what's going on? No beep codes at all. Just no post. It's almost like it's so quiet it's not running. But it does turn on.
