Specs :
Motherboard : Asus Ex A320M Gaming
CPU : Ryzen 5 3500
PSU : Circle CG Raw Power 550W 80Plus White
GPU : Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti
RAM : Corsair Vengence 2*8GB
There was a problem I was already encountering with the system. So here's a recap of previous events.
My computer was off for a week and when I came back to start it, I pressed the power button but it didn't boot up. The first suspicion falls on PSU. So, I tested it with the paperclip trick and it was working fine. I went to my friend's. Removed his PSU and inserted it into mine and nothing boots. I installed my PSU into his computer and his computer booted with my PSU. Conclusion: It is not the PSU.
I took it to a shop and it booted just fine there. I thought maybe it was a one time thing. After two-three days, the problem reappeared. Again I went to the shop and it booted just fine. Something common was that when I was taking it to the shop, the PC was fairly exposed to the sun. I finally decided that it must be the motherboard until I stumbled across this thread https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...faulty-motherboard-or-it-is-my-fault.3753239/. Everything, the overnight rain, the exposure to sun, the motherboard, the system time lag, the boot time lag and the problem were exact same as mine.
Later, I used a convection heater to heat my case. And after ten minutes it booted with my PSU and with same motherboard. Until one day when this trick also failed. At that time, my system wouldn't boot no matter what I do.
After this, I got my motherboard repaired. They said there was an IC that was damaged. It was then working fine until today, when it again wasn't booting up. I then removed all the connections, redid them but no luck. After an hour it booted by itself. It definitely is the motherboard after the PSU has damaged it. I am going to get a new PSU. I have seen that there were quite a few posts on this. So my suggestion to everyone is that DO NOT TRUST THE PAPERCLIP TECHNIQUE BLINDLY AND GET YOURSELF A NEW PSU, ONLY THEN START THE REPAIRED MOTHERBOARD.
