Hello everyone,
I apologize in advance for the lack on information, the parts other than my CPU are in a different location that I will not be able to get to until next week, so I am hoping to focus on CPU troubleshooting today. Also, this is my first post here so I apologize if the formatting isn't what is usually seen on here. I have a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, and one day as I was playing Destiny 2, my PC shut off, and now it won't turn back on. Occasionally, the power lights will flicker, and the fans will whirl, but only for about one rotation of the fans. I am lead to believe that this is the CPU as I have tested a different motherboard, and I have tried some different RAM. I have also made sure that the pins aren't bent and the socket is clean. I am wondering what could have caused this as I was not overclocked, and the game was running on the lowest settings when the suggested settings were in the medium-high range so I don't think it was overworked at this moment. No significant processes were in the background either. Is this something I can troubleshoot and potentially fix or do I need to go buy a new CPU?
