Motherboard: ASRock B650 PG Lightning
Built the system myself, not even 2 months old. Rock solid with not a single hiccup although EXPO was the extent of my tinkering. Then one evening when I shut down from Windows, the fans went crazy and it wouldn't power off, so I had to force it by holding the power button down. Next time I booted it everything worked normally, played some Cyberpunk, and then it happened again mid-game. Now it very rarely posts (fixed CPU and DRAM leds) and when it does I'm lucky if I can make it to the BIOS before it fails again. I got to windows once, checked some stats, temps and voltages were normal, reported my full 64GB of RAM, etc. And then it failed again after a minute.
Tried each memory stick separately on B2, no change, so unless both sticks failed simultaneously I don't think it's that. Removed 7900XT as I have an iGPU on my 7800X3D, but no change. Tried resetting the BIOS, no change. Flashed the latest BIOS via USB, no change. Made sure all connectors were properly seated.
There have been some developments since this first happened. I could power off by holding the power button down, but no longer. Sometimes the fans would run full speed at random, but now they mostly just idle. And as I was writing this post, after an eternity with fixed PSC leds, it posted and went straight to the BIOS, where it's been sitting for well over 15 minutes.
Really at a loss as to what to do now. I have no spare parts, and don't know any gamers in my area. Thankfully all the components which I think could be at fault (mobo, cpu, psu) were bought from the same store, which is fairly close by. Should I pay them to diagnose this?
Oh yea, the PSU is an MSI A850GF, and the mem sticks are 2x32 GB Corsair Vengeance 6000MHz.
Please help. I'm starting to regret building my own PC.
Tried to attach an image but wasn't able to.
