Two days ago I upgraded my graphics card to a AMD RX 6600 XT. My old PSU was 10 years old so I decided it was probably time to upgrade that as well. Install went fine, everything's working great for a few days, and then today I try to turn on the PC and nothing. Instead when I try to turn in on I hear the PSU make a clicking sound but nothing happens. It made the same clicking sound when it was working correctly, as far as I know it's normal for when a PSU turns on.
My first thought is this is a faulty PSU as from what I know PSUs normally fail quite quickly if they fail at all, and everything else was working fine. I've rechecked some of the connections in case they weren't secure when I installed but everything seems fine. Are there any others things I should try or test before removing and sending back?
The Power supply is a BeQuiet Straight Power 11 650W. My system is Ryzen 3600, RX 6600XT, 16GB of ram so I think the power supply has plenty of power to cover those components.
Thanks for your help!
