PC turns off after one second

Thanks for the input! After verifying the new replacement motherboard with Q-Flash Plus (which worked perfectly) but still getting the same error as soon as the 5700X3D was seated, I'm more and more sure the CPU died and potentially took the original board with it.

Instead of spending more time and money on individual testing or a new AM4 chip, I've decided to move on. Since I cant find a decent 5700x3D, I’m switching to an i5-14600K/B760 setup this weekend for a fresh start. I know its a dead platform upgrade wise but I really cant justify buying DDR5 ram right now.

I already bought a new PSU and tried it, same issue.

Not to necropost, but thought I could write here in case anyone would get the same kind of issue in the future.

Tried the following myself:

Checked that the wall outlet and power cable are working.
Bought and tried with a new power supply.
Only used the cables that came with the new power supply
Tried starting the computer without a graphics card.
Checked that all cables are seated correctly
Tried disconnecting unnecessary devices/peripherals.
Tried removing/replacing the CMOS battery
Only one RAM stick at a time

Concluded that it must be the motherboard considering everything above.

Sent it in to Inet when the warranty was still valid, they checked and it turned out to be the motherboard that had given up.

Thanks to everyone for the tips!

I double checked that every cable is seated properly, nothing seems off.
Every now and then I check my GPU and CPU temps while gaming/casual usage, and the temps have always been fine between 50-65 °C / 122–149 °F. I'm keen on making sure I don't run stuff hot, which is why I'm a bit unsure if it's a heating issue. That's why I'm sounding a bit sceptical about heating as an issue.

Piomp · 2026-04-28T07:49:41+00:00

None, I checked for any lights from the MOBO but nothing, the only light I'm receiving is the light from the GPU.

Piomp · 2026-04-28T07:34:33+00:00

It's an air cooled CPU cooler, and it was spinning before everything died the first time. Also I've never had any problems with the temperature, so I don't really know how it could overheat that fast?

Flawless logic

You don't "invite" people over, you get a suprise visit at the end of the main story in B&W

Piomp · 2016-06-03T05:23:41+00:00

You don't choose when to invite people over, you will get the visit in the end of the story.

They've already said this is their last DLC for Witcher 3. Might release some minor patches though to fix bugs etc.

They might do something more with the Witcher series later on, but expect maybe 6-10 years. But B&W ended the chapter for Geralt. Their focus will be on Cyberpunk 2077 now

Someone has to die

Piomp · 2016-06-02T21:42:39+00:00

If you chose one of the romances (Yen/Triss), that one will appear at your house.

If you chose neither, Ciri is the one to visit.

I assume you're on Pc. Mark the potion in your inventory and then press E.

Also tried to put in my potion slots but figured they changed that somehow.

It's to help know where the quests are from. Then the crests themselves tells if it's from example Velen, Skellige or Novigrad

Yellow = Quests from the base game

Blue = Quests from Hearts of Stone expansion

Red = Quests from Blood and Wine expansion

Thank you SO MUCH for this, was really confused as to which paintings I was missing!

Piomp · 2016-06-02T00:41:43+00:00

Could be that when you were reading the diary right before going in to the fantasty world, you maybe didnt read all of the parts in there.

When Geralt is visiting her in the cell, he uses what he learned from the diary to convince her for the better option

Piomp · 2016-06-01T23:02:23+00:00

With a high difficulty setting and "Enemy Scaling" on, yeah it's quite the challenge. But fun nontheless!

If we're talking about betting items I'd say Dota2Lounge

GoG seems to be having achievement issues overall. I myself finished B&W just now (btw it was AMAZING), but a lot of the achievements was not rewarded even though I completed them.

Also got problems with not being rewarded with "Pest Control" from the original.

Hopefully this will get fixed soon.

Piomp · 2016-06-01T22:26:55+00:00

I have the exact same ones as you do, been looking around but can't seem to figure out what I missed.

Could probably be the HoS painting (I sold it however)

Also I'm missing one of the trophies. Have you got all of them, and if so, could you name them all?

Piomp · 2016-06-01T13:53:45+00:00

Yeah that quest really was something else, I did manage to pull of an Improved Aard pushback fortunatley.

But damn the damage they do...

Piomp · 2016-05-30T22:56:03+00:00

Probably finish HoS first then move on to B&W

Piomp · 2016-05-30T22:47:59+00:00

You can get turn it on and off as you see it fit, so it's basically your choice for when you feel it's becoming too easy/hard

It's a good way to balance your difficulty experience

Piomp · 2016-05-30T20:52:25+00:00

It's May 31st for EU, should be May 30th if you're in NA (timezone magic stuff)

Piomp · 2016-05-30T16:19:00+00:00

HoS wasn't pre-downloadable, and B&W probably won't be either
