please disconnect your hdd/ssd. remove video card, ram and you can check if motherboard alive by short beeps or ram fail indication. also it's better swap psu to check if it good.

mobo msi b450 bazooka

GPU nvidia rtx 2060 super

ssd 500 GB wd black sn 750

A year ago means the hardware is newer but used.  Did it ever work or did it suddenly stop working.  If the latter, what happened if anything when or just before it did? (Most likely something or other autoupdated) in instances when hardware actually goes bad it happens either soon after it starts getting used, or after it’s normal service life is over.  Other things can happen but it’s not common. Highest likelyhood it’s some sort of system update incompatibility. Doesn’t mean it is of course.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

If the general time is known one might be able to look and see if there was some sort of auto update.  Windows has a nasty habit of doing that for example.  It’s almost always an awesome feature. Almost anyway. There can be times when it really really isn’t. 
So the “1 year” thing is variable between various parts.  A list of the different parts and their ages might prove useful.

New or used though?  If they’re used they will have an unknown amount of time on them.  If new, they seem all in the window though.  Probability of a sub component spontaneously failing at that point is quite low. Makes software stuff comparatively more likely.  Probability is just probability though.
