Motherboard:z390 aorus pro wifi
CPU: i7 8700k
GPU: GTX 1080
RAM: G.skill Ripjaws V 2x 8GB
PSU: evga 850w G3
Put together a new build and it worked fine the first two days until started testing it with a game.
First crash happened when a few minutes after running the benchmark for Assassin's Creed Origins. Was montitoring CPU and GPU in msiafterburner while playing and temps looked fine. Minimized the game after the benchmark and browsed chrome for about 2 minutes before it crashed and wouldn't boot. I checked all the slots and wires to no avail then went to bed
The next day it booted successfully. After browsing the internet a few hours I tried Origins again and crashed again after 10 minutes of gameplay. I haven't been able to boot it since.
I took out the PSU and turned it on alone successfully.
Then took out the mobo, lay it on it's box and stripped everything but the CPU, heatsink+fan and ram. Hooked it up to the PSU. All lights on the mobo flash for a moment when I turn the PSU on. When I try to turn the mobo on all that happens is the PSU making 3 clicking sounds. Tried without the ram and got the same result.
My guess is that the mono was shorted but I don't understand how. My case is a Corsair 760t and it has built in stand offs at every one of the screw holes of the mobo.
Otherwise maybe it was defective from the start? But then I'm a bit jarred that it would seem to work completely fine until testing a game.
Which is more likely? Or is there something else I'm missing?
