Hello! So I recently decided to upgrade my pc a bit, so I bought an ssd and some extra ram. Upon installing both, my pc power button now does nothing. The ram is the exact same type that I already had before, and I've tried both the paper clip method and removing the CMOS battery to reset the bios on an Asus Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1 motherboard. I've got no idea what to do now, so any help is hugely appreciated.
Added SSD and RAM to my PC, and now it won't even begin to boot

See if it runs with just the old memory modules , just because it's the exact same doesn't mean it will run with it.

Do the fans spin when starting the board?
If not, try testing the power supply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FWXgQSokF4
See if a fan connected to it does spin.
Alright, so I opened my PC up and looked at it again and the motherboard does have a red pwr LED on when the PSU is plugged in, but the fans don't spin. However, when I hit the power button, an almost whirring sound starts from the PSU, and when I turn my pc off by holding the power button for a bit, the PSU does click like it's turning off. I can't do the test thing because my motherboard cable is all blacked out for some reason, no wire colors.

Have you tried starting the board with SSD removed , or even better, with only CPU and CPU fan installed, both 24 and 8 pin power cables connected?

Sorry for the late response, I ended up having to go to bed and was busy until now. I've tried pretty much everything that I know how to do now, and when I hit the power button to boot my pc up, my fans all twitch. It's very strange. I hear a clicking, as if the system is turning on, the fans twitch, and then another click as though I had turned the system off.
