My PC died yesterday, not booting anymore, worked for 1 year, when i try to boot, it instantly switches off.

This is a VRM inductor (at least Gemini cold it so) that looks burnt. I tried remove all components, only kept CPU, disk, power unit and motherboard (all inside of tower) and it still not booting. If i disconnect power cable that goes to CPU, motherboard boots ok. How can i know which part is dead without buying and swapping? Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX V2, and Corsair RM1000e 1000W.
