Hi,

I occured unusual problem with PC - during remote work screen turned full white (gray) and froze without any response. I restarted it, it worked for 2-3 minutes and blue screen occured (but not system one, screen just turned blue), PC also froze. After second restart red square pattern appeared on screen and PC froze again, so I gave him a moment, disconnected AC and after that he won't even POST. Any ideas what happened or what has failed?

PSU: Silentium PC Enduro FM1 Gold 550W (ordered and assembled Sept 2016)
Motherboard: Asus P7P55 LX
Processor: IntelCore i5-750 (not clocked)
Graphics: Sapphire Radeon R9 280x 3GB OC (not clocked)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz CL9 (2x4 GB)
Discs: 250 GB SSD (Samsung 750 EVO, SATA3) and 1TB HDD WD Blue (WD10EZEX, SATA/600, 7200RPM, 64MB cache)

Ok, I connected friend's Asus GeForce GTX970 and it works fine. Do you maybe know any worthy replacements for this graphics card?
I'm not in the know on what pairs best with your cpu. Wait for others to suggest appropriate replacements

An RX 580 would be a reasonable upgrade/replacement
I looked for new setup (my current have from 4 to 7 y/o) and I came with this:
SilentiumPC Regnum RG6V TG Pure Black
SlilentiumPC Supremo L2 550W 80 Plus Gold
Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 GAMING 8GB GDDR5
Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16 Vengeance LPX Black

Do you think that would fit well? I'm asking because I did not assembled PC in years, so I'm just not sure about connections between parts.

Looks good. The only potential issue is the motherboard bios would need to be more recent that its release bios to support the CPU. I don't know how likely that is. The MSI MAX b450 boards don't have this issue.
