Hello,
I'm having an issue with a new build. I *was* experiencing issues with having no display during boot, where I would only sometimes see a screen. Other times, I would just see a dark/black screen, and another where there was no signal at all. When I actually did get a connection working as intended, I'd encounter a kernel.sys error.
Now, I'm having issues powering on the system. But only with the CPU installed. When the CPU is uninstalled, the PC powers on. Obviously, I can get no display without a CPU. While breadboarding, I also noticed...smoke leaving the motherboard near the JAUD1 port where nothing is connected, so the motherboard has effectively been fried...yet, again still powers on without a CPU installed.
I've never experienced a CPU and motherboard issue like this. So, my question is: is this normal behavior to encounter from a faulty motherboard? Just so I know what I need to replace to fix the build. My only concern for the PSU is if the PSU caused the motherboard to smoke, but I have no means of testing it at the moment.
Thanks,
Build is below:
MSI B350 Tomahawk
Corsair TX 550
AMD Ryzen 1600
Nvidia MSI GTX 1070 Armor 8G OC
