Hello everyone,
I recently upgraded my cpu and gpu.
I have a ASUSTek Prime X570-P Rev X, Ryzen 5800x3d and PNY rtx 4070ti.
After a couple of months, my computer would crash and reboot itself when playing online games. Works fine on web browsing etc.
Thought it was overheating, but temps and fans look normal. (4 fans and a cooler master)
Moved to test the psu. Was a tx750m, swapped it out for a rm1000x. Same results: crash and reboot.
The gpu and cpu are the only new changes. I swapped out the gpu for an old 580 or something, same results. Crash and reboot.
Thought it might be ram then. (32g ddr4) Swapped out my ram with good ram from a friend and same results. Crash and reboot.
I reset the bios by removing the battery for 30 minutes. Same results.
Figured it had to be the motherboard. Purchased a brand new motherboard Asus prime b550. Plugged one ram stick into b2. Plugged the motherboard (24 pin) and cpu (8 pin) power cords into the psu. Connected my ssd with windows into the new motherboard. Connected my power button to the new motherboard. Turned it on and the motherboard lighting lit up. The q-leds lit up as follows: dram=orange. CPU= red. VGA=white. Boot=green. Dram and cpu turn off. The other two stay on for a while.
Monitor plugged directly into the motherboard.
Only thing plugged in is the two power cords for cpu and motherboard, hdmi into motherboard, two ssds (also plugged into psu) and the cpu.
No display and after a while all motherboard lights turn off.
CPU is brand new bought in March. Pins are pristine and not bent. It is correctly seated.
As a complete novice, I have learned a lot about computers. But I’m about ready to throw in the proverbial towel. Is anyone able to help, I would be more that appreciative.
**update: I learned I had to use a gpu. So I plugged the monitor into the gpu and booted the computer up. I was able to see a display. Received a cpu fan error message (no fans are installed) and prompted to hit f1. When I get into the settings screen it crashes and doesn’t reboot.
