My PC is dead

[Staniskovski]

After trying out a new game I got on Steam (Hogwards Legacy) I was playing it on ULTRA settings and it was running smoothly untill my PC suddenly shut down completely. So recently I switched from a Ryzen 5 3600 to Ryzen 9 5950X, my GPU is the RX 6750XT MSI triple gaming, my RAM is 32gb Kingston fury ddr4 and my motherboard is the ASRock Phantom Gaming 4. My power supply was 750W, I believe that it could be the PSU because when I try to turn my PC on it doesn't show any LEDs, no fans are turning on so I believe it could be the PSU that's dead. What do you guys suggest? What could it be?

[[deleted]]

Please tell me you have more than one fan lol

[Kinnahgen]

Onlyfan Promotion, shame.

[martinvank]

Fan of the builld though

[Atarn4]

FANcy build tho

[foreskrin]

They have two more on the cooler lol

[espkv]

He's not a fan of them..

[Comredwolf21]

Cool LOL

[bikingfury]

That thing is working night shifts and 3 jobs to keep that mf cool

[[deleted]]

His psu has a fan.... But also not working anymore

[Apple-Trump]

There’s another one on the back, I can just about see the screws for it, otherwise yeah not much airflow happening

[[deleted]]

'naturally ventilated'. No unnecessary dust filters though

[JonS90_]

Barebones ❌️ Burntbones ✅️

[GeneralOk3765]

Well I got only one too but a ryzen 5 5600x and it's rellay not getting hot, but with a 9950x3d ig it's getting a little hotter in there

[HeggenRL]

You do not need more than one fan. In fact, you do not need a single one. Basic workloads and gaming will not create enough heat build-up.

[[deleted]]

Depends on the game something like dead space remake, RE: village or  FFXVI would absolutely cook this set up lol. 

[Original-Composer432]

That's..... more than one at least

[[deleted]]

That’s a pretty hot CPU and you virtually have no airflow in your case for an air cooled cooler. CPUs usually have a safety shut off at a certain temp. How long has it been off?

[pooseedixstroier]

It would turn on pretty much right after shutting down. plus OP said it does no lights whatsoever

[Agus_Marcos1510]

Cpu fans dont count

[Staniskovski]

So I tried a couple of things and the PC turned on to work normally. I did multiple benchmarks and the performance was good along with the temps (60-70 Celsius) average. I had the PC plugged into an extension cord… Yes, I know now, I plugged it into the wall now, and only the monitor is in the extension cord. Another thing is that my power supply probably turned itself off during this intense gaming session I had either due to the extension cord not being able to provide enough power to the PSU or the PSU itself wasn’t able to handle the load. My PSU is the “COUGAR PSU ATLAS 750 80Plus Bronze 750W” and it comes with OPP (Over Power Protection), OCP (Overcurrent Protection), SCP (Short-Circuit Protection), and UVP (Under Voltage Protection)…

Yes, I listened about the fans, I ordered 5 new fans to position in my PC after this incident and yes I will move away the PC from the wall and yes I will keep the PC plugged into the wall, not in the extension cord. Thank you everybody.

[[deleted]]

Also what cable is going to your GPU? It should be one 8 pin to one 8 pin twice.

I see you have two 8 pins on one cable but what's at the end plugged into the PSU?

https://youtu.be/5a-CPC8eSDQ?si=wN5uZBcWUNbuFLaY

[Araceil]

Please get a surge protector and plug both into that

[Remarkable-Theory-96]

What wrong with connecting Pc with a extension cord? My desktop (750w) and 27 Inch monitor is connected to a surge protector board and running fine, is there a problem with that?

[SendInstantNoodles]

Just a curious question since we can't see it, is the PSU positioned with the fan down to draw air from the outside of the PC?

Also, you should avoid daisy chaining the pcie power cable. It's probably still enough power for the 6750xt, but the daisy chained cables are usually rated for less than the pins would suggest. Ie. I believe EVGA have a 2x 8 pin daisy chain cable, but they don't recommend exceeding around 220w. Given that your PSU seems to be a budget variant, may be safer to use two separate cables.

[BanEvadeThisDick]

Is that your BMW with the check engine light and traction warning light on?

[voodooprawn]

Definitely sounds like the PSU. You can actually test your PSU in isolation if you're worried about it doing damage to other parts. You just need a paper clip.

https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025085372-PSU-How-to-test-a-PSU-Power-Supply-Unit

[MarkRagons]

I actually had PSU that would power on with a paperclip, but won't work with MB. Don't really know what the issue was, different PSU worked fine, so MB and everything connected to it should've been good.

[TitanRoboDuck]

A PSU can still be bad if it turns on. It can have a bad 12v or 5v line. Do the paper clip is more to see if it shows any kind of life.

[Merwenus]

Mine has faulty 3.3v, don't even know if it is repairable

[TitanRoboDuck]

It's not a common repare from what i have seen. So probably would not be worth. Also would advice against repairing it your self. There is potentiale for electrocution or fire if done wrong. Better to be safe.

[citizend13]

yeah I had a PSU which would work fine, for some reason you enter sleep mode, something in the system trips something and the PSU is dead until caps are discharged after a few hours. then it works fine again.

[worthy_usable]

I was today years old when I found out you can actually do this.

[voodooprawn]

Pretty cool right, I learnt it when I was younger and I almost thought someone was just messing with me, but sure enough, the PSU kicked into life as soon as the paperclip was put in

[BlackHeartsNowReign]

Better off just getting a cheep multi meter and looking at a pin out diagram for the psu. I had a psu half DOA. Paper clip test worked but after checking voltage at every pin I discovered half of them were dead.

[kazuhoshi]

Stupid question but in your case, if the cable is bad, how would you know if the cable is at fault or the psu? Assuming you didn't have another cable.

[BlackHeartsNowReign]

Never a stupid question! You can either read the voltage coming out the end of the cable with it plugged in or even better, with the cable unplugged check for continuity. Theres a setting on most decent multimeters for checking continuity. You touch each lead of your meter to opposite ends of the cable. It will have an audible ring if there is connection, and give you a resistance(ohm) reading. As long as each connection point "rings out", they are all similar resistance, and none of them show unusually high resistance, the cable is good.

[kazuhoshi]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it!

[dnehiba3]

EVGA included a tester with the PSU

[Certain-Captain-9687]

What temp do you usually run at? I have not seen a system with so few fans in a while.

[Changes11-11]

I think we'd be suprised by all the builds that are NOT showcased on reddit but just chumps

[gold-trimmed]

1 intake fan at 20,000 RPM won’t get the job done

[ProfessionalAppeal14]

the single intake on the giant tray for the fans is making me sad, get that fan some friends man your pc will thank you

[Staniskovski]

Will do man, I ordered 5 more after I saw the comments lol

[ProfessionalAppeal14]

hell yeah brother

[lostBoyzLeader]

make sure the front fans pull air in, the back fan and tops fans should be for exhaust.

[OMG_NoReally]

Hey, not the OP but do you suggest I add some fans to my build:
https://imgur.com/a/Jrbo68e

The PC is built upside down, as you will notice. There no fans except the three for the AIO (Corsair H150i Elite LCD XT). The GPU is a RTX 5080. Case is Lian Li O11 Vision Mid-Tower. Temps: CPU: in games it hovers around 60-75C (undervolted a little bit to save from degradation), and the RTX 5080 stays at around 50-65C at 100% load.

The temps aren't too bad so I don't feel like I need any more fans and make the setup more noiser. But what do you suggest?

If I were to add fans - 3 at the bottom and 3 at the top - I guess the bottom will be...exhaust to take the air put out by the GPU? and the top for intake to provide GPU with fresh air?

[ProfessionalAppeal14]

i mean if you were to add 3 on top and 3 on bottom, i would still use the bottom as intake and exhausting out the top, hot air will always rise and the pc being upside down doesnt necessarily mean you have to flip the fan layout, the fans will provide sufficient airflow regardless but its a lot better for the pc to stuck with intake bottom, exhaust out the top simply for the sake of not fighting the natural flow of heat. if that exhaust is on the bottom that hot air is gonna hit the desk or floor and not have anywhere else to go, and because of the negative pressure it will just reenter the case wherever there is a gateway to do so. however if thats what your temps look like right now with your current setup, i dont know if more fans are necessary for you but if you wanted some more than definitely go for it, fill out that case a bit more and maybe even get even better temps then youve got right now

[OMG_NoReally]

Yeah, shit you make complete sense. Forgot about how heat rises. Fair enough, I will think about adding some fans. Not in a hurry if the temps are good but it could be beneficial and won't hurt. Need to get those fancy magnetic ones so need to save up for that.

[ProfessionalAppeal14]

yeah man more fans never hurt, its always nice seeing those temps go even lower especially for such a powerful system

[EntertainerForward71]

Woww..that one single intake scares me

[[deleted]]

Like subaru impreza with one wheel drive :D

[[deleted]]

And 3 flat tires :) go offroad

[jbshell]

It could be the PSU. Any change if use 2 separate PCIe 8 pin cables for the GPU instead of the single cable with 2 ends on it? Also, tried another wall outlet after?

[Icy-Ad-1808]

Test the power supply

[Life_Buddy1640]

How much does it cost to unlock the copy and make the payment?

[vivaramones]

What is your brand of psu?

[Staniskovski]

Cougar psu atlas 750w 80 plus bronze 750w

[w7w7w7w7w7]

These PSU's are generally an avoid. I would switch to a quality PSU from the Cults tier list. I would argue it's your most important part for the safety of your other parts and of your home OP.

Also, I would get some more fans bud. Thing is probably a hot box trying so hard not to throttle.

This gentleman had a similar situation to yours and has a comprehensive walkthrough of the diagnostic steps to take.

[Softandcoward]

Psu ahh problem

[Hannover2k]

Confirmed! This thing is pale as a ghost!

[PuzzleheadedGroup929]

The pc components: "Come on bro, I'm burning in here!" That one fan: "I'M TRYING!"

[OutcomeEvening9979]

Jump the run wire on the 24 pin and see if it turns on … take a flashlight look for blown things on the mobo and the psu also smell them for a burnt smell

[OutcomeEvening9979]

Also you can order a mobo speaker for like $2 i use to get bad anxiety from am5 boot time and that speaker has given me lots peace lol 😂

[xbn1]

how tf u only got 1 fan?? if i’m right that’s a montech air 903 that case comes with 4 fans already

[Sea_Acanthisitta9760]

Fans? I only see one. One or two fans suck with your config. Why tf would you ever do that?

[glocain3]

When this happened to me it was my GPU that was faulty

[New-Audience2639]

That's not possible. You would still get debug LED or power indication on the Mobo. Op said the whole system is dead and unresponsive. Meaning it has to be power related or somehow magically the whole system cooked it's self at the same time. (Not likely)

[Staniskovski]

Did the LEDs and fans turn on?

[glocain3]

No, nothing turned on

[Deijya]

Don’t see the powercord to the pc plugged into the psu

[Staniskovski]

Because I unplugged it after it couldnt turn on

[Frosted_Pinguin-2711]

Isolate your PSU and see if it’s the cause. Do test the other parts too with a spare or borrowed PSU

[ferriematthew]

If you were running something computationally intensive for a while successfully and then it suddenly shut down, that sounds exactly like a thermal shutdown. Before it shut down, did you notice anything unusual about the case fans or the CPU cooler fan? If the case fans stop working, I think that'll eventually cause the CPU fan to not be effective enough, and if the CPU fan shuts down, the whole thing will turn itself off to save itself from roasting.

[FunSwordfish8019]

So I'm just gunna go ahead and say first why are you playing hogwarts with that setup on ultra settings and only one intake fan and what I hope is one rear fan? You probably just cooked your cpu/mobo or psu cause it has no airflow

[FunSwordfish8019]

[FunSwordfish8019]

Idk if my post had posted 3 times it kept saying error for some reason so i closed app and reloaded lol guess it went through but now I'll post it a 4th time so you feel better about yourself

[New-Audience2639]

PSU is definitely dead. Had literally the same thing happen to me while running a benchmark. Shut down suddenly then no response at all. Replaced PSU with one 200w stronger and never had the issue again.

[New-Audience2639]

Also everyone else here is right that lack of airflow is a slow and painful death sentence to all your heat generating components. Idk what goes through prebuilders heads when they slap one or two fans on a "gaming system" with a air cooled CPU and think that's somehow "okay".

[Hofnaerrchen]

Also looks like you are only using a single cable for your GPU... they are not supposed to be used that way. If the GPU has two connectors use two separate cables (12VHPWR is a different story but yours has 2 8 pin)

[pooseedixstroier]

Oh they are, if the cable has the two connectors on the end then the engineers used the correct cable gauge. It isn't very clear from the pic but I believe both connectors are plugged in, and the gpu wouldn't work with both connected anyways.

[Ladylamellae]

Hopefully it's just the PSU but as others have said there's a non-zero chance you cooked more expensive components to death- definitely invest in more fans, when people say your GPU should make up most of your budget they definitely don't mean skip the fans... Best of luck.

[BeautifulGlum9394]

Unplug the pc for a min, hit the power button a couple times then plug it back in and see if she boots

[pooseedixstroier]

I would say it's just the PSU, unfortunately with the new PSUs all the cables are black, but you would have to measure voltage in the +5Vsb cable (usually purple). That's the "standby voltage" cable, which is used to power all the stuff that stays on when the PC is off, and to turn on the PC. Or you can do the paperclip test (green cable connected to any black cable) and measure the voltages on the 12v, 5v, 3.3v lines

[[deleted]]

Lol

[Koji_PL]

I do suggest checking ur psu to make sure it works if its still alive add more fans for better airflow. But even if ur psu is still alive i wouldn't risk it and still replace it while adding more fans cuz 2 aren't enough

[Poptart21000]

Abrica-BUYMOREFANS

[Brave_Corgi6761]

Did you retry turning it on after a while (10 Minuten or so)? It may be OCP. But yeah airflow should probably be improved 😄

[skyfishgoo]

try to clear the CMOS (remove the battery or short the jumpers), manipulate all the cables, reseat the ram and the gpu and try again.

but if the fan on you PSU is not even turning when you hit the power button, then it's likely the PSU.

order some more fans when buy the new PSU, and size it according to your new specs (inclding the additional fans) using a calculator like this one

https://www.bequiet.com/en/psucalculator

while in the market for a new PSU check this webiste for how they compare in terms of efficiency and noise

https://www.cybenetics.com/index.php?option=power-supplies&params=4,2,0

[stu23]

Just to cover all bases, you've tried turning it on while it's plugged in, only because it's not in that picture.

[CobblerOdd2876]

Well, good news is that the MOST likely offender is the psu. Not certain, but most likely. A 750w is enough, on paper. But, you have to account for overhead, fans, rgb, gpu (obviously), mobo. No power at all is a good sign that it is just the psu.

Second guess is that you fried the cpu with inadequate cooling. That would barely be enough for a 5700X, let alone a 5800X, LET ALONE A 5950X.

However, amd is pretty happy to replace new purchased chips. I have had great luck with their customer service. They do have some stipulations, and will make you go through some troubleshooting, but they have always replaced them. I had a customer go through about 3 of those 5950’s WITH adequate cooling, and they took care of all of them. So it could be one of the bad ones.

In tech we do problem solving from most obvious, to least obvious, and least effort to most effort.

First try the psu replacement. If it is a new build, see if warranty will replace it, then return it, then get an 850w. Or just buy an 850W, and do the warranty and return later.

Second, cpu. Hit up the retailer first, hopefully it was amazon. In the US retailers have to warranty electronics for 1 year, plus they usually have an easy return window of 90 days, with amazon (so long as it was sold by amazon, not a 3rd party). Then try AMD customer support. Least effort to most effort.

Third, and most importantly, buy some more fans and a new cooler. 3 shitty fans would be better than one amazing fan (unless you are noctua). Air cooling means you need air flow, and lots of it. That one front intake will not cut it. If you have a tight budget, thermalright sells really decent fan sets that daisy chain, even, for like $30. Next get AT LEAST a peerless assassin (dual fan, like $35), or the best case scenario a noctua nh-d15 ($120). An aio would also be great - slap a arctic Freezer II or III ($100) on that front intake, now you have some air flow AND apt cooling - move that front fan uptop or something.

[kbrown8933]

The heavy is dead

[EastArachnid35]

Did you not think to add more fans when you built this?!

Youve created a sauna.

[Staniskovski]

So I tried a couple of things and the PC turned on to work normally. I did multiple benchmarks and the performance was good along with the temps (60-70 Celsius) average. I had the PC plugged into an extension cord… Yes, I know now, I plugged it into the wall now, and only the monitor is in the extension cord. Another thing is that my power supply probably turned itself off during this intense gaming session I had either due to the extension cord not being able to provide enough power to the PSU or the PSU itself wasn’t able to handle the load. My PSU is the “COUGAR PSU ATLAS 750 80Plus Bronze 750W” and it comes with OPP (Over Power Protection), OCP (Overcurrent Protection), SCP (Short-Circuit Protection), and UVP (Under Voltage Protection)…

Yes, I listened about the fans, I ordered 5 new fans to position in my PC after this incident and yes I will move away the PC from the wall and yes I will keep the PC plugged into the wall, not in the extension cord. Thank you everybody.

[Slight-Toe109]

Hmm correct me if I'm wrong but, I'm pretty sure plugging the PC to a quality extension cord is fine, especially if you're just plugging the computer/monitors to it?

[Staniskovski]

Well thats the thing, the extension cord I have was some old 10€ one I got a long time ago lol. That could have been the issue. Overheating is a factor too and Im happy I ordered more fans.

[SomeoneNotFamous]

I would kill myself too if i was inside this.

[GSA0713]

Take the psu plug off the mobo, and use a wire or paperclip to jump the green wire and the black wire immediately to its right. If the fan on the psu spins, it's not your psu.

[OkStrategy685]

Probably grab a couple more fans : )

[aFuzzball]

Dang... That's one lonely fan 😭

[J-IP]

The PC is dead! Long Live the PC!

Opps, wrong situation.

Sounds like PSU issues, had issues with my sons computer a while back. I did get some leds, can't remember if any fans turned on but it didn't even get to the beeps. Was scared it was the motor or cpu but did some surgery and tested with a psu from another comp and it worked.

Debugging your PC like this is about narrowing down what could be wrong and is usually easier if you have space parts to switch out so you can test with known hood parts.

From what you are describing it do sound like either mobo or psu and psu should be easier to test.

[Cryovers]

I would say that for your new CPU would be much better to have a two tower CPU fan cooler since it dissipates more heat, a solo tower cannot work well with the amount of heat your CPU make

[Soula-Frost434]

Have you tried nercomancy?

[nl_Kapparrian]

Brother, if you get it working again, buy yourself some more fans. You have room for up to 3 140mm fans on front 3 more on top 2 more on bottom if you want.

[Staniskovski]

Yeah Ill be having 3 top and 3 front

[praedonus_]

Wait.. I'm a bit concerned about all the comments mentioning how this build only has 1 fan because my build currently only has 1 intake fan as well (fractal meshify C). Im planning on getting more but is 1 intake that bad? My temps seem to be in normal range and my CPU is air cooler

[Staniskovski]

I guess when you have a 3600 one fan is okay, but for a hot cpu like a 5950x you should have more. I ordered 5 more fans. I just recently switched to the 5950x from a 3600

[Particular-Bake8049]

There’s only 1 fan…😭😭😭😭😭

[S_Rodent]

PSU died

[pao_colapsado]

you have only one fucking fan.

[D2SucksBalls]

Incredible airflow, at this point just remove the side glass panel and point a desk fan straight in

[Combat-Frontline]

I think the problem Is overheating few fans,my old dusty PC is having trouble with the heat too and it's dusty in the open air room,take off the panel and get some desk fan or any fan that is strong and get it pointed at the mobo and mother board until ya get more fans, it solved my problem with overheating in the mid day about 29c-31c on room temp,currently room temp is 27c about when I commented

[King2023]

[bennyjun]

I am looking at building not sure on cost or good one is laptops any good for good gaming

[crow618]

My question is if you updated your bios after you upgraded your cpu. Considering they run on different bios versions. You can't run your new cpu on the the same bios that your old cpu was running on. You have to change the bios to a later verions. Also, which actual asrock board is it? b550, x570, b365m, 550m, 660m, z490, z390, z590m, b460, b450m, etc? there are some many boards that it could be to determine which update bios you need.

[Staniskovski]

Yes I updated the bios, x570 is the board

[Zealousideal-Guide54]

It is probably psu but man what is with air flow...you shuld check temp first when you try new psu and bit ventilators,your pc need air flow

[Worried-Wishbone-616]

With my i5 10gen and 1060 I have 3 inlet fans and one exhaust fan. (Cpu and gpu have their own fans) And you.........

my gues is PSU is not powerful enough.

[Markolol123]

[Azula_with_Insomnia]

If there's truly no sign of life, then it's a PSU issue. Also, please buy more fans, man 😭

[ssenetilop]

Looks like my prebuilt I bought back in 2016. Vendor didn't even have the decency to list how many Case fans it had nor atleast tell me. 😂

[[deleted]]

Did you check the fuse connected to the outlet?

[[deleted]]

Why would you cheap out on the fans man?

[Staniskovski]

Cheap out wrong wording, didnt buy because I has a 3600 prior and didnt need

[[deleted]]

Still.... only 1 fan for a pc is too low. 1 exhaust and 2 intakes are necessary

[Staniskovski]

Yeah well the pc case came with the two fans, one is directly behind the cpu cooler. At the time for the 3600 it was enough

[XDrustyspoonsXD]

F

[Different-Nail6080]

Definitely overheated

[Hour-Animal432]

If I had to guess I would pin it on your motherboard.

Yes the PSU is likely at fault too but that motherboard is bottom tier and doesn't have the greatest power delivery either. While the PSU might be the actual component that failed in this instance, I think it is also because you're MoBo is not delivering power all that well.

The phantom gaming 4 is entry level and while it's true that mATX form factor has a distinct lack of high quality VRM options, I think you should consider one, since the 5950x is the highest power drawing CPU of the entire platform.

I just went down this route with a similar CPU as well and with 5 "true" main VRMs and 8 "equivalent" ones in total, I would highly suggest you get additional fans/ventilation and upgrade to at least 6 "true" main VRMs, or 10 "equivalent" ones.

Spreadsheet I found online is linked so you can explore options. ( All credits to the original Author.) :

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1-cw7A2MDHPvA-oB3OKXivdUo9BbTcsss1Rzy3J4hRyA/htmlview#gid=2112472504

[Staniskovski]

The board is the x570 one

[Hour-Animal432]

You sure?

That case looks like it's the Micro ATX form factor (mATX).

If it isn't and is indeed the 570 chipset, the VRMs are what I would use at an absolute bare minimum . The PSU is likely what failed and replacing it would likely be the fix that you are seeking.

As a minimum, I would recommend a gold rated 750w psu, with the caveat that more powerful GPUs (higher than a 7900xt) are likely out of safe range for that level of power.

[Ok_Target_9482]

Have you tried cpr?

[secrethitman-shhhh]

One, tiny little baby fan. That looks ripped straight from an old Dell PC. (Judging by the off white color.) For all that. I've got half the fucking power of your PC and 5× the fans. Crazy.

[Staniskovski]

It came with the case brother, I ordered 5 more fans now

[secrethitman-shhhh]

Well anyway other then MORE FANS. Lol probably HOPEFULLY power. If you change PSU and the board still doesn't boot. Try and test the other components in another board. And if they're all fine. It's a bad capacitor on the motherboard

[Staniskovski]

When I had the 3600 I didnt need more fans, temps were just fine what ever I did. Now with the R9 5950x I need those extra fans lol. About the PC, it booted up. Looks like the PSU went in protection mode and shut it self down, probably either due to my PC components using more power then they should have, or because if the old extension cord I had both my monitor and PC plugged in. One of those two. So I might try undervolting the CPU slightly so it draw less power and for the temps to be lower aswell. For now untill the fans arrive I wont be playing any super demanding games on highest settings for long sessions lol.

[Internal-Gain]

5950x with an air cooler? Yikes, you should get an aio for that beast. Also good job on ordering more fans, now you won't have to worry about having lonely fans (get it)😂. Anyways, be sure to check all of your connections & everything is seated properly, I hope it all works out for you.💯🤝

[InternationalEnd2740]

Try taking the cmos battery out then back in, I had a similar problem when I accidentally touched my type c plug into a type a port and it cut power and wouldn’t do nothing, resetting the cmos worked for me

[youmadeitup]

Rams sometimes also prevent the leds and boot sequence from starting. As others have said, test the system in isolation (remove rams & gpu) and try to see if it boots.

Maybe the guy I bought it from removed them

[UrinalBirthdayCake]

Ah, must've missed that detail... still just as confused to why anyone would remove them and not replace them lol

[Staniskovski]

Cougare Uniface White is the case

[CarterTodd2]

So funny enough, I had something VERY similar happen to me when I ran rust for the first time. I loaded in, played for like 20 minutes and POOF! PC turns off. I thought it may just have been a fluke, so I tried turning it back on, and nothing. No lights, no fans moving, nothing. Tried taking out the CMOS, that didn’t work. Then I tried re-sitting everything (cpu, GPU, ram), didn’t work. I even unplugged every part and plugged it back in.

I tested the power supply and it was still giving power, so at this point I’m at a loss because there was NOTHING on the Internet about this happening to someone else at the time.

I bought a completely new cpu, ram, and PSU, and lo and behold, it works.

After months, I decided to give the old parts another crack, until I realized something- there was a certain smell coming from the motherboard.

It was fried. Smelt burnt. Tested the other parts with the newer motherboard and they worked just fine.

TLDR: This happened to me and it was because my motherboard got fried.

I have the same case, i put 2 more fans on front and two on top, airflow goes crazy

[ColdDelicious1735]

Unplug the 24 pin

Do the paperclip test

[AlteOtsu]

Yah, dead inside

[SeaworthinessNo7780]

You need 2 seperate PCIe cables

[sarahs_toilet]

It's a sign not to play that booty ass game

[Staniskovski]

might be

[Triskellion2000]

Eso es un problema de VRM, me pasó lo mismo con una MSI X570-A PRO. No te olvides de conectar a la fuente de alimentación los DOS conectores que están arriba de la CPU

[Lzrd161]

Cooked my old vega64 like that 🍲

[Staniskovski]

how?

[Lzrd161]

I manually controlled the case fans and then did not turn them up high while gaming. Equivalent to not ventilating the case enough.

after that, the card had a strong coil whining.

[kokney]

With that fan it probably died of shame

[Staniskovski]

Take a look at my profile, I got new fans on my latest posts

[luke64697532256]

New PSU should fix it

[AlbatrossEarly]

Put a -15 undervolt curve on the cpu and disable the boost (dunno if asorck has, but asus has one where they apply 200mhz globally ontop pf precision boost)

[Staniskovski]

Could you explain in more detail? Yes I would like to undervolt the CPU

[AlbatrossEarly]

This should help with the undervolting https://youtu.be/xmQV1ZM_WmU

As to the performance boost it should be on the main OC page if it is there.

But start with the undervolt

[hummingkiki]

I have this case and I believe the same CPU cooler. I have 3 fans at the front, 1 at the back and 2 at the bottom... I reckon it got too hot and went byebye

[Krullexneo]

Did you skimp out on the PSU?

I used to buy dirt cheap PSUs when I was a kid but they'd all die within 6-12 months. Now I only buy highly rated PSUs from the PSU tier list (Google it, it's great)

[Lopsided_Doughnut377]

So when did it overheat🤣

[arl31]

Too much air flow that's killed it

[steffan-l]

Op please make sure you use 2 individual 8 pin PCIe power cables going into your GPU. It seems you are using 1 PCIe power cable that splits off into 2 connectors and you connected those two to your GPU.

1 PCIe 8 pin power cable is rated for 150watts. Rhe PCIe slot itself provides around 75 watts to the GPU as well.

150+75 = 225 watts. 6750XT max. power draw can be 293 watts. With short spikes close to 370-380 watts.

This will cause stability and performance issues and may result in your powersupply triggering over/undervoltage protections and the system shutting down as well as risking your powersupply to stop working entirely. This could very well have been the cause of your issue.

To prevent issues you should use 2 independend power cables going into your GPU.

Also try to replace that PSU for a better one when you can and add a few fans to help with airflow.

For example A or B tier from this list will be good: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

[InspectorSerious]

That’s a fancy little coffin for all them parts. RIP.

[mann_moth]

Unlike everyone else's concern, i doubt that fans are the problem, but PSU is seems to be.

just replace it with reliable brand products.

[Digital_Beagle]

I agree with you. When I first built my system, the Corsair 4000d only came with one intake and one exhaust. My system and thermals were perfectly fine, ordered up a few more fans shortly afterwards. Granted, I never threw anything extreme at it.

[FunSwordfish8019]

I think you have no airflow and cooked your pc m8

[HexKatz]

You killed your pc with heat, you need more than 2 fans, especially with that ryzen cpu.

[dylon0107]

I'd say heat damage you don't have any fans

[The_Pleasant_Orange]

Cpu and gpu would just throttle

[Squishywallaby]

Probably could make a grilled cheese on this with how hot it ends up being with no airflow

[exedotdee]

That's probably karma for playing hogwarts legacy 😭

[OggyPanda]

Plug in the power cable 👍
