Hi all,
I've been experiencing an issue with motherboard failures for the past few years now. It seems like every time I replace/upgrade my MB, it only lasts around 2-3 years before I mysteriously stops working. The latest iteration of this just occurred a few days ago, with my PC turning on (fans, RGB-lighting, etc.), but no output to the monitor, mouse, or keyboard (the latter to both having RGB lighting).
I have a growing suspicion that these failures are being caused by the PSU - it's the only constant between failures, and is also the oldest part of the system (7 years by now).
Any other ideas on what might be causing the MB failures?
MB: MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: MSI GTX 1060 6GB Gaming
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (3200MHz)
PSU: Corsair CX500M
Storage (primary): Samsung 850 Evo 250GB SSD
Storage (secondary): WD Blue 1TB HDD @ 7200rpm
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition
