I'll provide some more details. I did also check to see if the mouse and keyboard were still functional by plugging them into my iPad, and they do. Pressing DEL to open the UEFI did nothing. The hard drive monitoring light on the top of my case is not reading any activity. I saw the red light on the motherboard for a split second. Also, nothing was wrong when I left for Thanksgiving break with all accessories working. The only thing that is working when I turn on the computer now is the Blue Yeti which I cannot understand. If I thought my PC was at risk over Thanksgiving break I would have taken it home, even though it's extremely heavy. Some extra context and clarification.

OS: Windows 11 Home 64 (specific update unavailable) Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC AM4 CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 GPU: MSI - GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB VENTUS XS OC Video Card (Driver: 496.76) Boot: WD Blue SATA SSD HDD: 1 TB WD Blue + 4TB Seagate Barracuda RAM: G.SKILL Aegis 32GB (2 x 16GB) 3000MHZ PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G1+ Computer age: Completed May 2019 with some mods such as new RAM in late 2019 and 4TB HDD addition in 2020. I read the post on how to fix a computer that is not posting. However, the specific circumstances of the issue likely warrants this post. I'm pretty much panicking because this is the week before finals at my university and my monitor, keyboard, and mouse is refusing to work though the computer does power on. I was gone for a week for Thanksgiving break with the heat on low (though the room felt like a sauna because they don't run AC to cool the temperature, I would estimate the room was about 80°F). My computer was off during this time. The odd thing is that while the mouse, keyboard, and monitor were not receiving a signal, the Blue Yeti mic was. There were no signs of anything wrong when I left. I don't understand what is going on, I read it could be a CMOS battery, or the entire motherboard died. I have not attempted any troubleshooting steps besides checking that things were plugged in to the motherboard still. I am legally blind so I'm pretty reticent to take things apart. However, any suggestions to possible problems it is would be much appreciated so I may be more informed. I will likely take this computer to a repair shop since I am legally blind so please keep that in mind. Thank you all in advance.

Don't worry, I am using Malwarebytes Premium. I have it run hyper scans and a custom scan that is pretty much a full scan with a few mods so it won't scream about my Chrome Extensions (Honey, Grammarily, ColorZilla, and Dark Reader).

The build looks pretty good, but one thing I do recommend is adding a hard drive for mass storage. Storing your OS and most used programs on the SSD should be fine, but adding a drive for other files such as photos, music, and other programs might be favorable. 480GBs can fill up quickly when you add the OS, programs, videos, photos, and music. I recommend at least another 500GB drive and highly recommend 1-2TBs. I don't know what the use case of this computer will be, but buying more storage now may save headaches later. Although, if there is a budget issue, I can understand not getting a hard drive now. And there are some benefits of going all SSD. In the future, I probably will, but I find hard drives still useful for now, as they are the cheapest way to add more storage at the moment. Well, besides cloud storage maybe.

Yeah, they don't draw a lot of power really. What other things are you running? As long as you calculate the wattage for everything else on the system, those hard drives should be very little to nothing. @he11cey Forgot to mention, PCPartPicker is a good website that gives you pretty good readings on what wattage your system will run at. I definitely recommend checking that out. It even calculates everything the wattage for everything you place in the list. Just search the parts you have and add them. Sorry if it keeps on sending notifications, I keep updating it. This should be the last one on this post at least.

I think I have figured out the problem. Old power strip may have had a short, or there was too much strain on the cable or something to due with poor cable management under the desk and cords getting tangled. Something unrelated to the power supply, or so it appeared to me. Testing it now to see if that was the issue. I also updated the bios to 1.06 on my MSI B450 Pro Carbon AC motherboard. And I am going to attempt to have DISM or SFC to repair the corrupted Windows files. Just doing a lot of maintenance to a very recent build, not a fan of this, but I should have expected that some technical work may need to be done from time to time.

Just thought of something else, maybe a cable issue?

I don't know much about power supplies honestly and I am wondering if my power supply has a problem. My system has been randomly rebooting. I know something knocked out the power and ever since it has been behaving oddly. I have it plugged in to a power strip so I think it could be that. But my system even panicked and went into recovery mode, but all was well and my system data is intact and my drives are OK according to S.M.A.R.T and another program Crystal said the drives were at 100% health. I really hope it is not a failing power supply since I have only had the PC since about March-April, it appears to happen every bit or so. If I can replace it before it goes pop then all will be good. Your thoughts? Is it a bad supply of should I check the power strip.

I don't know if ublock origin exists for this browser, I could look into it. All I do know is that Google is planning on banning or has banned ad-block software being used on Chrome. The irony is Google Chrome will block ads on websites that Google finds to have annoying ad practices. I guess Google has to do the demonetizing. I suppose I could switch to something else, but the syncing between devices is so smooth... @Bramimond

Yeah, I didn't dig far enough. It may be worth it but I don't know if I am going to or not.

I was thinking of using a VPN, but I don't see one where you can pay for one year. I am not a fan of monthly payments. Any ideas on this? Maybe I didn't dig far enough?
