I recently posted here for advice on a GPU (nabbed an in-stock 3060ti FE) for my partner and now her mobo seems to have died, or at least I think it has. Machine just wont POST even with everything but the power and CPU unplugged. She was saying her game was stuttering something awful and I noticed her machine was only reporting 1 stick of RAM present. After checking the RAM, removing, trying 1 at a time, different slots yada yada it now won't POST.

Tried my RAM in it, nothing. Tried my GPU in it, nothing.

Anyway, I need a replacement.

Any recommendations? Obviously needs to be AM4 socket and be compatible with a Ryzen 3600, mATX and if possible a good selection of IO ports that don't delegate half of them to the front headers.

Budget: Whatever, whatever pairs nicely with the Ryzen 3600 + 3060ti and has decent IO.

For less than £100 the Gigabyte B550M DS3H s a budget friendly option and has 8 usb ports on the rear io.

All depends what your pre paired to spend .

Sorry forgot to put budget in the OP. I don't care on the price, looking for something that makes sense to go with the Ryzen 3600 + 3060ti. I'll update the OP. If it costs £100 fine, if it's £200 then fine. Whatever is most fitting. I don't want bottom tier, can at least say that much haha.

If you are replacing it anyhow, then I first you suggest taking the board/CPU/RAM out of the case and bench testing it outside of the case, with the current PSU and then with your PSU if that does not work. If you do manage to get it to power on then, I would have a USB flash drive on standby with the newest BIOS and go ahead and flash the BIOS. Obviously before you try and power it on make sure you've cleared the CMOS and replaced the CR2032 BIOS battery with a known good working one, as this can and does cause problems.
