    Question PC POSTs/boots only very rarely and randomly ?

    Unfortunately it is the model without integrated graphics. Interestingly my keyboard LEDs light up as they would when it would boot when I don't have the 3080 in, which does make me think it's an issue with the GPU but when it very randomly eventually boots with the 3080 in, I can't believe...

    Question PC POSTs/boots only very rarely and randomly ?

    The old one I replaced was CX750M, which is modular. I replaced it with the CX750. I had ran the card for so long on the cx750m without issue even with OC. I did upgrade motherboard/cpu and ram recently but still I think over a month or more running fine.

    Question Mosfet Burned out (smoke). Motherboard now won't boot with i5 but does with i3.

    Question Mosfet Burned out (smoke). Motherboard now won't boot with i5 but does with i3.

    I was stress testing CPU to check my temps and heard some noises from pc then it shut off with some smoke coming from the set of transistors above the CPU. I was using my i5 13600k at the time it happened and after failing to boot up over and over (mb flashes red cpu led debug for half a second...
