I have no idea how it got there, but after removing the power supply everything started working as expected. While removing the old PSU, I heard a "clink" that sounded like a loose metal part. I eventually swapped out my PSU, to test. I swapped out my GPU (GTX 1080) with an older one (GTX 670), which didn't work. This one would at least display Q-Codes, although it would only boot occasionally, and would become stuck on the Q-code b2. In about another month (yes, it took that long). I checked with a volt-meter, it didn't even send a signal for the PSU to power on when the power button was switched. I ended up sending the mother-board back, as despite changing nearly every other component, it still wouldn't work. I believe a broken PSU bricked my motherboard, after replacing the MB and the PSU, everything is working great! Power Supply: EVGA 850 Watt Gold Super Novaįor the sake of completeness, I wanted to share how this story ends.CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan.Boot Drive: SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III.

I ran a couple of stress tests when I first bought it (using prime95), and rendered some things (using full CPU power for about an hour) I also will note that I have not been straining it to intensely. I did notice the CPU ran a little hotter than I would have liked, but within limit. I did however, verify that there are no bent pins or visible defects on the CPU.īefore this incident, my computer has been happily working largely without concern for about 2 months. CPU Speed, 2.20 GHz Display Resolution Maximum, 1920 x 1080 Screen Size, 17.3 inches Display Technology, LED Graphics Coprocessor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. The only component I couldn't check against was the CPU, since I don't have any other that are compatible. I also tried replacing the power supply, as well as removing all the hard drives, including the boot drive. I also ran an old GPU I had (GTX 670) in the computer, which didn't fix the issue. I proceeded to debug every single component, including trying every singe ram stick individually, using different ram ports. I attempted to restart it, and nothing happened, except a solid red warning(?) light (that I don't remember seeing before) appeared next to the CPU (more details on that later). My computer suddenly died (with a very small pop that may just have been the speakers) while using an HTC Vive (although I don't think it was the Vive's fault).
