Make and model of your motherboard please ?I've been browsing and I think the main issue i have is my ram being ddr4l (laptop ram)
Onda a320-ipc.Make and model of your motherboard please ?
Thanks very much for having a look - a good find but very expensive. I think what I have is old tech and a rare combo unfortunately.Asrock X570D4I-2T
Only thing I found.
Still could be the power supply but dificult to be certain.Onda a320-ipc.
It just turned off with no warning and won't turn on again. When plugged in and power own I hear a click click click from the mb (not power supply).
Why... if you have the money to buy a new pc and it doesn't affect your long term financials (ie not going into debt) then I don't see what the issue is (other than paying higher prices than we'd all like).I'd be crucified spending money in the world's current situation
I have found the problem and it is the board. When powered on black smoke starts to come from 1 of the 4 very tiny chips numbered 025 027 029 030. They sit next to am4 socket corner.Still could be the power supply but dificult to be certain.
Could reuse the 3200g and a b450 motherboard as mentioned above.

I tried to upload image (just as I'm curious) but can't figure out how to upload from phone.
Yes a valid point. Im just at the point in life where 70%-80% of wage is bills/kids, all the basics are covered but there's things we'd like to get that's more important. Weve good jobs but nursery bills get us.Why... if you have the money to buy a new pc and it doesn't affect your long term financials (ie not going into debt) then I don't see what the issue is (other than paying higher prices than we'd all like).
Yes times are tough and we all need to make logical decisions about how we use our money but that doesn't mean we should feel 'guilty' if we do spend some money on something 'pleasure' orientated (lets be honest, at the rate things are going we're all likely going to be home more because restaurants etc will be closing due to electric/gas costs).
Yeah I'll have a think, I know where you mean, that's where I got the parts before. Used it 100s times and never had issues.Images You need to use a image hosting site first like image shack then you can link them.
Think you still get your motherboard with shipping near 100 us dollars but 8s it worth the risk.
Good luck whichever you decide if you need help speccing a pc just holler or let's us know if you fix it.Yeah I'll have a think, I know where you mean, that's where I got the parts before. Used it 100s times and never had issues.
I'll look at all the options I think.

IF the system is completely dead, and based on the above info you've just added it's entirely possible that those little chips have damaged the cpu too (you'd only really know with a new motherboard), it might be the time to consider upgrading to something that can last a bit longer.... think of it as an investment because your child(ren) will likely need access to a pc from primary school these days.Yes a valid point.
