It's a 2019 built computer, so I turned on the PC opened a few folders and it shut down automatically two times then it didn't happen again so I played for a few hrs...then I came back this evening, turned it on again and it booted to the desktop but the keyboard and mouse neither lit up nor worked so I restarted it.

After that it didn't POST, the cpu light on my motherboard is lit red.
Things I've tried:

  • flashed the bios
  • cmos reset(by taking out the battery)
  • realigned the cpu and tried flashing again
  • removed all components except the 24pin and 8pin and flashed bios again
  • tried booting with 1 ram stick

nothing worked and the cpu light was on all the time.

Specs:
MBD: MSI X570 A Pro
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600X
GPU: RTX 3060
PSU: Antec NE650M GB
