    [SOLVED] System won't POST anymore.

    It was infact the BIOS that needed to be updated and the 3600 is dead. Running smooth now with the 5700x. My PSU is only 3 years old a good quality, not had any troubles with 550w and the 3070 so far but it will be the next piece of kit I upgrade. Thank you.
