Motherboard lights flicker but no power...

Hiya everyone. All of a sudden my pc won't turn on anymore. Yesterday it worked fine. But today it won't turn on at all. There's some lights on my motherboard that flicker (just cosmetic led's. No error code lights.) it's a Asus prime B550-plus.

Rest of the specs:

Ryzen 5 3600

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT

16GB DDR4

Seasonic BC-650 PSU

I am not sure what to do. I tried unplugging everything. Power cycling. All the basic steps. Didn't plug anything out of the pc though. I'd like to hear what I should do or what could be causing it. Thank you for reading!

Update: I removed any secondary PCIe cards and just left one RAM stick in there. Still the same thing.

Second update: removed the gpu and tried. Still nothing.

Third update: Also checked if the psu spins up via the paperclip method. It does. Psu seems to be working fine.

Will a white PC build yellow over time in a room with lots of windows?

I'm considering buying a **used white PC (1 year old)**, but I'm worried about the parts yellowing over time.

My room has **3 windows**, gets quite a lot of natural light, and is **non-AC**, so it can get pretty warm. I also plan to keep the PC for a long time.

For those who have owned a white PC for **2+ years**:

* Did the white plastic actually yellow?
* Does sunlight or room temperature make a noticeable difference?
* Would you avoid a white build in this kind of room?

*note: Im not smoking*

Honestly, I dont really care about the color and Im fine with black. Im just wondering if yellowing is something I should consider before buying.

Thanks!
