So I just built a mini-ITX setup with the following components.
Motherboard: ROG Strix B660-i Gaming WIFI
CPU: Intel Core i9 13900K 3.0 GHz 68MB
CPU Cooler: Be Quiet Dark Rock TF 2
Mem: Kingston 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL36 FURY
HD: Samsung 990 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 2TB
PSU: Cooler Master V850 SFX Gold Rev.2
GPU: Asus 3070
All squeezed into a Hyte Revolt 3 case.
I built this setup and ran it over a week with no issues, then one day when I came back to computer, it had crashed and was looking at a black bios screen saying overheating. I turned the computer off (had to leave) and when I came back and tried starting it, no go, it just started rebooting itself and never showing any display output.
Nothing connnected to motherboard seems to get power (keyboard/mouse does not light up etc etc).
Things I have tried so far:
Remove GPU, still no output from motherboards own HDMI or DP output.
When GPU was still in, the fans of the GPU card started running but cut of almost right away, not sure if that is normal, probably due to the MB rebooting constantly.
The Q-leds light up CPU -> DRAM then turns off, but they turn on again shortly after, it's like the board is rebooting constantly (altho it's hard to detect, fans are running continuously).
Removed the DRAM one by one, and tested them one by one in different banks, no change.
Removed the CPU, re-applied paste, and installed again, no change.
The silly LED's on the RAM's does light up still, that doesn't say much though.
Tried clearing the CMOS, no change.
So question is, what has burned up here? I have looked around and anything from the PSU, CPU, MEM or Board can be faulty, obviously these are expensive parts and guessing by buying isn't really what I would want to end up doing.
My own theory is that since there is no display out from the Motherboard, I think the board is faulty/fried? But I have also ready a lot of PSU's can give this behavior if they do not give stable power (especially the rebooting).
Any ideas or similar experiences?
