Seriously, I'm over this already! I spent all this money and was so excited to ditch PlayStation and Nintendo in order to enjoy the full PC graphics, mods, and free online, but I never had any PlayStation or Nintendo break on me like this in my whole life!

Days and days I've spent troubleshooting why there's suddenly no picture on screen; DisplayPort suddenly stopped working, so switched to HDMI for a bit, then that started acting up and not working, so I tried updating GPU drivers (while the screen still worked), and taking out the RAM and GPU and putting em back in.

Every one of those fixes worked temporarily until the PC just decided it wanted to choose to act up again randomly. I connected a new PSU (switching from 500W to 750W), and then all of a sudden the USB mouse wasn't lighting and speakers didn't work, up even though the fans and lights on the case and motherboard all spun and lit up fine.

Then I tried to unscrew the CPU fan and pull out the CPU to reinstall it, now I have pins snapped off the CPU (which was stuck to the fan btw), and I gotta spend hundreds of dollars on a new one.

Specs were a B450M DS3H V2 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 3050 6GB, and 32GB of DDR4-4400Mhz RAM.

I hope y'all are happy, this is the third time I've wrote this in order to fix "vulgarity."

well if your ram is speed is 4400mhz then your way over the recomended speed of 3200.

what ram kit are you using.

first time ive seen any posts.

what is your power supply. name and model.

have you updated your motherboard bios.
 
Indeed.

It would seem that it may in your best interests to contact a professional or perhaps try to get in touch with an enthusiast to help teach and guide you a bit in troubleshooting the issue. It would be a good idea to have that power supply tested before using it on the repair or rebuild. I make certain assumptions, given the lack of detail, that the correct power supply wires were used and that everything was connected and seated properly.

It is, in general a bad idea to attempt to throw parts at a repair you are unsure the source of the problem as it can lead to damaging good equipment. If you can take the time to explain not only the complete hardware, but a less emotional telling of the processes you went through to this point there are a lot of really smart people here who can also assist if you are willing to listen.
