[SOLVED] Is my motherboard damaged or can it damage other components?

[DevilJP]

Some days ago my PC just stop booting, and a first look I tought that the problem could be my PSU, it was a EVGA 500 B1, 80+ BRONZE 500W that i bought only one and a half year ago. So I tested the PSU and other components (GPU, RAM and SSD) with a friend on his PC and it look everything is fine.

So then I blame the Motherboard, a Gigabyte GA-AB350M-DS3H, 'cos it wasn't booting, call the warranty service and they told me to do a CLR_CMOS, I did it and then when I tried to test again my PSU and then it just exploded a little blue condenser inside the psu.

Could my motherbord get damage for that? Is my Motherboard making all those issues? I wanna buy other PSU cause I don't know how to fix the EVGA but I'm worried for if I test the new one on my motherboard and then it explode again.

This is my first question here, sorry if I'm doing somethig wrong and thanks for your replies

Unlikely that the motherboard, per se, caused the PSU component to explode. Likely coincidental.

Could simply be that the PSU is no longer able to support the system. TBD.

For the most part if the PSU has been heavily used and at high wattage demands then the PSU may simply have reached an early EOL (End of Life). That is a designed in factor.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS. Provide some additional information about how the PC is normally used - gaming, lots of video editing, bit-mining, etc..

So my built:
Ryzen 5 2600
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-AB350M-DS3H
GPU Red Dragon AXRX 570 4GB
RAM 2x8 T-Force Delta RGB 3200Mhz
SSD Kingstone SATA 240GB
HHD Seagate 1TB
Monitor 24" 144Hz

Edit: I forget the SO, I don't really know about SO, I only know it was Win10 Pro and I always update windows when it ask for it

All pluged into a KoblenzRS-1400-I

I only use my PC to play games like R6:Siege, Minecraft, GTA V, a little few of other games and for MS Office and navigate in Chrome. I tested my house line and the Koblenz and it all looks to be fine

So you think that wouldn't be a problem if I buy a new PSU and I plug it into my Motherboard? This time it will be a better one cause I don't wanna feel like its a downgrade instaed an upgrate. Might a 650W 80+ Gold from XPG.

With a failed component (capacitor) in the PSU the PSU is certainly the prime suspect.

And continuing to use (or try to use) that PSU could cause more system damage.

Try the new PSU but start simple/ light with the load. Slowly work up to increasing loads and monitor the system's performance.

Actually the capasitor exploted the last time I tried to test my machine, you know, the hope. But I don't ever tried again for the same reason, that it could damage something else.

Thanks for your replies and for your help, I'll try what you say and thanks for the suggestion about a new PSU
