Hello,
I buyed a new motherboard Gigabyte b450m ds3h v2, new RAM Crucial Ballistix 2x8GO DDR4 3000 mhz, and new APU AMD Ryzen 5 3400G, I connected an old PSU that was working fine 6 months ago (but not used since) OCZ Technology StealthXStream 500W, PSU died after 2 or 3 seconds, it maked a sound like "clack" and smelled a little burn, but did not know it was the PSU that died. So I removed the OCZ PSU, and used an LC Power 550 watt that was working fine also 6 months ago (but not used since), by removing everything connected, it was only Motherboard, CPU and RAM, the LC power did the same thing but more loud.
That happened without even turning on the PC, just putting ON the 2 PSU and they died.
Is my motherboard killing PSU, or the CPU, or anything else, I suspect the CPU being faulty, because the compagny that sold me the CPU was MPK, and I know that sometimes some sell you a used CPU, sometimes by mistake or on purpose. But can a CPU even kill PSU ?
I build a lot of PC, a lot of things happened, but like this never... Everything I had was brand and quality...
