Hey,
I upgraded my R5 2600 Asus B450 prime combo to a R9 3900x Msi x570-a pro combo 2 days ago. The system worked just fine. A couple hours ago I went away for an hour and the pc seemed to have died in the meantime. When I tried booting it the system fans would spin for a split second and that was it. So I started troubleshooting and found out the PC booted without the CPU power cable plugged in, I then tried with the R5 2600 in the new motherboard and had the same issue. So it can't be the cpu. Then I tried the old motherboard again with the old cpu and that booted fine so it can't be the power supply. So it has to be a dead motherboard right? Anyone know if it can possibly be something else?
