Hello everyone, hope you are doing well today!
I have an older rig that I have played less and less, I have let my children play on it a lot recently. Here's what I had:
Motherboard: Tomahawk B450
CPU: Ryzen 5v 2600
GPU: RX-580P8D
RAM: Vengeance LPX DDR4 8 gig (x2)
PS: EVGA 700W
One day last week I sat down to play for the first time in months, I played the game my children usually play - New World. About 15 minutes in, the PC suddenly shut down. I was suspicious as to what could have caused it, when my sons informed me that this happens all the time.. they just restart it!
Upon restarting I checked my temps, they were warm. I started New World and within a few minutes the CPU temps were critical. Right as I was about to shut it down and take a look inside, it shutdown again. This time, the CPU LED on the motherboard came on. I took a look inside and did some troubleshooting. It didn't take long to confirm my CPU fan had died.
I ordered a new CPU, Ryzen 5 3600, and on startup the same CPU light came on. I figured I had burnt up the CPU slot on the motherboard. So, I ordered a new motherboard, B550 this time. After installing the new motherboard, when I start the computer nothing happens. No LED, no beeps, nothing! I had a brand new 650W Power Supply laying around and tried it out as well, same results. From checking online, it appears this setup only requires a 600W Power Supply.
I confirmed I had power, I checked all the seats, I rechecked every power supply connection ten times. I swapped the power on and reset cables from the case, I have tried jumping them directly. I have removed everything on the motherboard but one stick of ram, re-seat the CPU, swapped the motherboard battery, I can't get this thing to do anything. It's possible I just received a dead motherboard, so I have a replacement on the way. In the meantime, can anyone think of something I'm missing?
