AMD 2700X
MSI B450 Tomahawk
RTX 2070
2x8GB ram, Gskill TridentZ 3200mhz
PSU EVGA Supernova 650w P2
Problem: No post, No beep, No display, VGA red light on motherboard lights up 5 seconds after power on, then GPU fans stop spinning.
What happened prior: Morning, accidently unplugged surge protector from wall with PC running. Plugged it back, everything was fine. Evening, left PC running and took a nap. Came back, typed password and got a error, windows telling me password needed to be reinitialized. Decided to reboot instead. No post after that. Found out i plugged surge protector wrong in the morning. (It was plugged half way into the wall).
What i was able to try to troubleshoot: Put a different GPU and power supply. Tried both stick of ram individually in each 4 slots. Unplugged all HDD and SSD. Tried 2nd pci express port for GPU. Tried with another monitor. Cleared CMOS by removing the battery for 2 minutes.
To me it sounds like a dead motherboard. Do you think it could be something else ? Or more ? The half-plugged surged protector makes me think more parts could be affected and i have no way of testing those in another computer. Also the windows password situation that happened just before makes me scratch my head.
If it is more likely to be just the motherboard i will buy another one and replace it, but if there are good chances that more parts died i would consider a new build instead.
What do you think ?
