A couple problems (no post)

[azzy]

today i came home and turned on my computer to find out it wouldn't ever post, yet be stuck on VGA (the lights on my mobo showing the boot process. everything would run according to plan, but the VGA light would stay on and would never transition into the BOOT light).

after panicking for a little, i went and searched up what could be the problem and what i can troubleshoot. one of the many articles i found said that i could have faulty ram. so, i took out my ram sticks and tried to put each one in individually to find out if that was the problem. turns out that wasn't the problem and a new problem arises as i put them back where they were: my computer won't take any power.

so i panic some more and i push one of my ram sticks down more. my computer starts to boot up, but when i let go, it stops receiving power and stops booting/shuts off. this made me realize that my ram sticks aren't FULLY in, despite the clicks i heard when i put them in. i haven't had this issue before and it seems like nobody else i've talked to has either.

before this, i also had some issues with the CMOS and i've had to clear it every 1-2 months or so due to display issues (my computer would boot and post, but no display was shown on my monitor). clearing the CMOS did fix it, though.

this is my first pc build and i'm pretty new to the whole pc gaming world so i don't have much knowledge.

has anyone had any of these issues before? does anyone know how to fix them? any help is appreciated!

my pc specs:
CPU - Ryzen 5 5600G

GPU - MSI Geforce GTX 1650

MOBO - ASUS Rog Strix B550-A 

RAM - 2 x 8gb Corsair Vengeance RGB

SSD - Western Digital SN550 NVMe M.2 SSD 1tb (note: i have a second ssd that came with my old prebuilt. it's not an m.2 slot one and it was 500gb)

PSU - High Power (model: HPG-500BR-F12S) 500W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply (note: this psu also came with my old prebuilt. i have never heard of this brand)

CASE - NZXT H510 in White

The easiest explanation would be the power supply is bad. I mean, it is a dog crap power supply, so it wouldn't surprise me. All the rest of your component are good

I would say the same for the power supply. I do not have an answer for the cmos thing though.
