I have been having incredibly bad luck with my computer. As of a couple of weeks ago when I powered my computer on I got full power to all my peripherals, the fans turned on, GPU turned on, etc. but I was getting no output to my monitors. Fast forward to now I've pretty much tried every troubleshooting tip I can. I resat the GPU and RAM, I reset the CMOS, I replaced the PSU, I tried a different GPU and I tried reseating my CPU, all to no avail.
At this point, it seems like the issue MUST be the Motherboard in some capacity, possibly some sort of electrical issue. Therefore, I am thinking about getting a new MB but was wondering if there were any considerations I should take into account for replacing it? A computer repair guy I brought the PC to recommended I buy the same MB otherwise he said I could face configuration issues or potentially get a BSOD from driver errors. Is that truly the case and I should stick with the same MB? I hesitate because clearly this current one has well and truly screwed me over and I'm sinking multiple hundreds of dollars into troubleshooting and fixing it.
If there aren't any real concerns with getting a different MB, any recommendations?
Below are my PC specs:
NZXT Kraken M221
MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFIBlack
MSI GeForce RTX™ 2080 Ti VENTUS
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6GHz
NZXT C850 Gold Digital PSU
G. Skill Trident Z Royal RGB 16GB 3600MHz
