Hi there!
Yesterday, my computer crashed and turnt itself off. I think this may have been connected with a family member turning on the light in the neighboring room.
I figured it might have been a weird power surge or something that got to the PSU, since I couldn't turn on the computer after that at all. I've obviously tested the socket and made sure that no fuse was blown.
I therefore assumed that the EVGA 850W I had in had reached it's limit and somehow died (I do have 2x 2080 so I might be pushing close to max capacity).
Strange since it's a good manufacturer, but things like this can happen. Luckily I recently bough a 1000W EVGA 3G PSU, so I replaced that.
Now, the computer boots - but it's just a black screen, and I am not able to power off the PC. Even when holding in the power button. I have to pull out the power, or turn off the PSU directly on the back of the case.
Now, I then though I might have a faulty new PSU, but I also tried with an old 650W from another working PC, and that was the same issue.
Is it possible my motherboard is defect? Any and all help is very appreciated since I'm at a loss and need to figure out what is wrong so I can potentially get parts send in for RMA.
Thank you so much for your time!
