I was using my PC last night without any issues, left my pc on overnight. I woke up to a black screen, decided to force reboot the system but I still have the same issue.

Thinking that it maybe just be dusty since I haven't cleaned it for a month, after cleaning I re-placed all of the parts as it was, applied new thermal grease for the CPU. I got a successful boot up saying that the CPU or CMOS was removed yada yada.

I accidentally forgot to plug the CPU fan and shutdown the unit with going through the CPU config.

Not going through the config could be the cause of this error?

SPECS:
Ryzen 5 3400G
MSI B450 Tomahawk Max II
 
Solution
UPDATE

I got it checked at the shop just to make sure I didn't break anymore parts, they said the probable cause may have been a misaligned power connector

Did you try to reset CMOS/BIOS ?
