Hi there,
I recently built a HTPC with the following specs:
Asus b450 gaming-itx/ac mother board
AMD Ryzen 3 3200g APU
16 GB ballistix RAM
160W streacom nano PSU
1TB M.2 SSD
I've installed Budgie as the OS.
The PC worked fine for around 2 months but has now started deteriorating. I get lots of white lines tearing across the screen and then the screen will cut out altogether repeatedly.
While the screen is black the PC is still registering inputs (I can type, move the mouse and load webpages).
I've used sensors and powertop to run diagnostics and the power usage is never anywhere close to the 160W capacity of the nano PSU and the CPU temp doesn't get above 60 C.
I've tried multiple HDMI cables and the issue still persists.
I also get the issue in the BIOS screen so it's not OS related.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the PC that I can see either from the diagnostics or from opening it up and checking for loose connections.
Has anyone had similar issues in the past? Is it a faulty APU?
