So today I have angered the pixies inside my pc.

All working fine been powered on about 10 mins. I decided to install icue and about 50% of the way in dead..

System freezes at cpu led. So tried a second cpu I have and now freezing at dram led.. tried a few sets of ram and nothing.

Tested my cpu and all the ram in sons pc all fine.. so I assume motherboard?
Anything else to test before buying a board ?
 
I actually on the occasion have a spear psu in the house.. I’ll try that.

Bios as been reset, everything unplugged from the bard and still stuck on cpu with my 5700x3d. But passes to dram with a spear cpu but then just stuck on dram.

Not really, it as stopped working again. I was working fine out it all back in case and work again…

Went into bios set XMP and boom. Locked up again in the same way
I think it may be the cpu.
It came back to lift with a 3200g fitted. Put my 5700x3d back in and fine. Set xmp dead

Sorted it... PSU.

i have the same PSU in 500w and 750w model. when dumped it on the table i switched it out for the 500w to test that's when it started working.
without even thinking i switched back to the 750w when putting it back in the case. obviously what ever safety on the motherboard had reset and it worked for about 11mins.

i just pulled the PSU and refitted the 500w and it working again the second i swoped it over.

i just literally just said i'm lucky i fitted a faulty PSU twice and it failed/tripped both times and my full system is ok...

i used my sons PC and for the second PSU is after i gave him a GPU upgrade the 500w was replaced at the same time
