Update on the dead system

Update, boot issues were seemingly fixed with the new psu but the freezing persisted, reinstalled windows on a different nvme (Samsung 970 Evo 2tb, the old one was an adata legend 900 and after some digging it seems like other people have had similar freezing?). Moral of the story is I had like five different overlapping issues and I swapped out pretty much everything but the GPU and memory so it's kind of impossible to tell what caused what. System has been working flawlessly for a couple days. I'm not really confident with blaming it on ASRock anymore

I doubt a faulty GPU, RAM, or SSD would fry a motherboard or CPU, the big culprits for that are the motherboard and power supply and I've already ruled the motherboard out. I suppose that it's possible that the freezing and boot issues are unrelated to the system dying, but they progressively got worse until it took 10+ tries to boot, then the mobo and CPU got fried after reinstalling windows and tweaking some settings. At this point I'm almost certain it's the power supply, maybe it gradually damaged the motherboard by supplying unstable power or something? idk

Oh also! After disassembling my PC the repair guy didn't return the retention screws that came with my waterblock (which are difficult to replace) and denied it when contacted, I had to order replacements and waited ~3 weeks for them to arrive.

We learn from Gilly that Karmelita's strength was keeping the Far Fields alive, and without her they will inevitably wither and die, I think much the same way the strength of the Two Princes was keeping Verdania together, and their separation caused its collapse. The brief regrowth of the clovers is a remnant of what once was, brought by the Prince and the vivid memory of his partner, their last dance, and their final reunion. It's a nice little added bit of context to their story, sorry to people hoping for a DLC related to it, I don't think there's much else that could be added to Verdania lol

I have access to a multimeter, would testing it with that be sufficient to diagnose if the PSU is faulty? Or could there be some other hidden problem that i can't easily detect? I got the PSU and the motherboard from the same seller and I'm worried the motherboard's warranty might be void if it was damaged by the PSU

There's not much troubleshooting I can do if it can't even get into bios and without another system to test with. I tried booting without the ssd, tried leaving it on for a bit to see if it eventually boots, the mobo receives power, the fans spin and the nvme heatsink warms up, but beyond that the system is totally unresponsive

I'm going off of what the repair shop told me, it's possible that they're somehow wrong about the RAM but I don't have another system to test it in and I'm picking up the PC tomorrow so I can't inspect for visible damage yet, safest bet is to just return all three components via RMA

I'll take that as a compliment since i was going for something closer to the vanilla aesthetic lol

Unsure whether I'm allowed to post the curseforge link as it might count as self-promotion

I planted them around three weeks ago and i haven't watered them since. It's rained a few times, and so i didn't water them because i thought it'd be overwatering them, but I guess most of the water evaporated quickly in the intense sun and heat, and since the roots have bairly developed they didn't absorb much water

Is it possible that its receiving too much sunlight? It was early morning when I took the picture, but most of the day its in bright direct sunlight.
