My pc was shutting off randomly while I was playing games. This happened before, but very very rarely. I built this pc 5 months ago and had no issues.

Specs:
Ryzen 5 7600
Corsair vengeance 6000mhz cl30
Gigabyte b650 eagle ax
Zotac 3060ti
750w psu corsair gold

To see if I could fix the problem, I removed my rams, my gpu, the 24 pin connector and reconnected everything, and applied new thermal paste.

After that, my pc doesn't turn on, and it stays on the DRAM led, and now it's the cpu led is on and it won't move from there.

Things I've tried:

- removing and reinstalling the cpu after removing all thermal paste to see if it booted
- tested another ram stick
- cleared the cmos
- check all the cables, disconnect them and reconnect them

If you know anything about it, please help me as I need this pc to work...

Corsair is the brand of the PSU while 750W and Gold are the advertised wattage and 80+ efficiency rating for the unit(respectively). What is the model of the unit and it's age?

My pc was shutting off randomly while I was playing games.
A system that randomly shuts off will happen due to one of two reasons;
1| an overheating issue
or
2| the PSU is incapable of delivering power to the entire system when taxed.

To add, the RTX 3000 series had an issue with high transient load spikes;

and users were advised to over provision on their PSU purchase, which in your case would've had to be at 850W, instead of 750W.

That being said, you might want to see if reflashing the BIOS for the motherboard helps alleviate the issue.
