New PC Problems

[Jacobbbbb]

So I just built my first PC, and out of nowhere only a few hours after being put together, it turned off. I hadn't hit the power button or done anything that should've caused it to power off. I tried to turn it on, and it would start to turn on (fans turning and I could hear it start), but then the motherboard would give me a yellow light (like in the video) and shut off. A few days later I tried to turn it on, and it turned on again like normal after taking the RAM sticks (with help from a tech literate friend who helped me understand the motherboard's manual) out and putting them back in. But a little while later, after restarting the PC, it wouldn't turn on again. A similar thing happened like the first time, except now, there is an orange light, and taking the RAM in and out didn't fix anything. I don't know if this is a problem with the RAM or something else. So to quickly describe the video, I have the camera looking at the motherboard, and you can hear a click in the right channel, which was me hitting the power button (this was the only time in the video I pushed any buttons or anything). Then the orange light and fan turned on then off again. I bumped the computer which is what the second noise was. This is what has happened multiple times.

Here are my specs:

GeForce GTX 1650 (graphics card)

WL 4TB 64MB Cache 5400RPM SATA III (hard drive)

AMD RYZEN 5 3600 6-Core (CPU)

Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 (motherboard)

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 (RAM)

and the power supply is 775 Watts, I got it from a friend, but he doesn't remember what brand or model

 

If more details are needed, let me know, and thanks for the help!

RAM)

check it again, make sure it is clean, try one stick then try two sticks, switch them around too,if it still does not work, try the other slots

775w?  Odd number.  It could be very old. Your system doesn’t need anything like that kind of power.  A 3600 and a 1650 should be over served by a 400w PSU.  There are debug systems for motherboards and one of them is a set of lights in different colors.  It might pay to look at your motherboard manual to see what the light means.
