My PC didn’t turn on for 4 days straight, then it lit up randomly and I was able to use it for a couple days. I had to unplug and replug it multiple times to get it to boot, now again it completely isn’t working nor lighting up. I hear a short beep every second that doesn’t stop, I tried to decrypt the beep codes but couldn’t find anything. My MOBO is an ASUS Strix B550-F. I’d appreciate any help.

Full system specs, including PSU make and model (or part number) is? Also, how old the PSU is, and was the PSU bought new or used/refurbished?

NZXT Case
Ryzen 5 2600
GTX 1070 TI
16gb Corsair 3400mhz RAM
Asus Strix B550-F
480GB SSD
Gigabyte 750W Gold PSU - P750GM (Bought new, I had it replaced with my old one when I had this same issue a year ago and it didn’t change anything)

I ask again: including PSU make and model (or part number) is?

Since have you any idea, how many different models, 750W 80+ Gold PSUs, Gigabyte has produced?

Edit:
If you don't know by heart, open up your PC case, take a pic of PSU label and post the pic here.

Also, what make and model your old PSU was?

Here’s a pic of my PSU

— My old PSU was this; Thermaltake Smart 700W 80+ White Certified PSU, Continuous Power with 120mm Ultra Quiet Fan, ATX 12V V2.3/EPS 12V Active PFC Power Supply PS-SPD-0700NPCWUS-W https://a.co/d/462PBts

Crap quality PSU. Not worth the money, at all.

Holy hell... :eek:

Gigabyte GP-P750GM, is far worse of a PSU, than your Thermaltake PSU was. Since it will reliably have catastrophic failure, while killing other hardware as well.
GamersNexus covered it well when it was 1st discovered, a year ago, just when you bought your time bomb:

And 3rd video too (clearly showing how bad/serious this thing is):

Heck, Gigabyte even made a recall of those time bombs,

What to do next?

  1. Open up your PC, rip the PSU and all of it's cables out and throw it away. (Or refund it to Gigabyte, link in TH article above.)
  2. Buy 2nd, good quality PSU. E.g Seasonic Focus/PRIME or Corsair RM/RMi/RMx/HX/HXi/AX/AXi.
  3. Hook up the new PSU and cross your fingers that anything else didn't die.

Now, i'm quite sure that besides the PSU, you will have other dead hardware inside the PC as well. What exactly? Hard to tell, but you can consider everything that was connected to that time bomb, to be toast. MoBo is usually 1st to go, closely followed by GPU (like GamersNexus, who lost their RTX 3080).

Is that why my CPU was running at 236 degrees a couple days ago? Yea, I’m gonna replace that asap and see if that fixes the issue. It’d be a miracle if my CPU is still alive, I’m praying everything else is still working.
