Hi All,
After lurking for sometime viewing other posts similar to my situation I have decided to create an account and see if anyone can give me some thoughts on my issue.
Sometime ago I moved my small form factor PC into my daughters room, the purpose of the move was to provide some extra heat during these cold winter months where I live(USA) while running some folding@home to support a good cause. Initially the pc worked without issue for several weeks than one day I noticed it was off one morning and the GFCI outlet the PC was plugged into was tripped(red light on the outlet) Not thinking much about it I reset the outlet and turned the PC back on. As a bit of a backstory this GFCI is about 1 year old, we had some renovations done that involved this room about a year ago and the previous two prong outlet was replaced with a GFCI as a result(as far as I know its still on an ungrounded circuit, 1950s home) So another few weeks go by and this same thing occurs again, I reset the outlet and start up the PC with no issue. This happens maybe once or twice more over the course of about a month except on the most recent incident, after resetting the outlet and PCs power button the computer fails to post. PSU turns on and LEDS come on for all components however the Motherboard shows DRAM light on the EZ debug indicator. Below are PC specs and what I tried so far.
MOBA: MSI B560i
CPU: Intel I5-11500
RAM: Gskill DDR4 3200MHz
GPU: RTX 3070Ti
PSU: Corsair SF600
Storage: 1tb Samsung 970 EVO M.2

- Checked CPU, removed from socket and confirmed no bent pins or improper install. All looked good.
- Removed and repasted AIO Cooler(deepcool 240)
- Double and triple checked AIO wiring
- Installed stock Intel CPU cooler
- Checked m.2 boot drive mounting
- Removed CMOS battery and waited 5-10 minutes
- Checked voltage of CMOS battery with multimeter(was at 3.0volts)
