Had one more problem you didn’t mention. PC rebooted itself with no BSOD and nothing in the event log. PC is in my observatory, it was cold so no heat issues, fans are clean and no indication of any heat issues. I decided it had to be the PDU since the machine otherwise ran fine. Replaced it, no problem since.
It would be helpful if you mentioned that the CPU has to be pre-heated to baking temperature before pulling the fan off. Or you'll pull the CPU off with the fan and then nothing will post.
On my first PC Build from 2020, just yesterday a thing happened. Yep a lighting Strike is my guess, but nothing died on my PC instantly. parts list (MOBO) MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX, (GPU) Gigabyte AMD RADEON RX5700 XT 8GB, and (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 3700X The first thing I should tell you is that the LAN Port on the MOBO never would click into place, so there were times when I had to push in but not a regular thing. When it was plugged in I would get 1 Green and one Orange connection light on the port. Now the day of the incident hours later I noticed that I had no internet connection, I checked it and tried to reseat the port, no lights at all. Then i noticed that my monitor started to have a "Horizontal Flicker" about a half inch wide and I first thought it was my monitor going bad after two years. After some time I thought it warming up the flicker went away. That did not last but I still thought it was my monitor. Then it gradually got worse to the point where my mouse would freeze and then I started to think it was no so much the Monitor but my Motherboard and or even my Graphics Card. I tested for updates on all three Monitor/MOBO/GPU and the answer was all up to date and working properly. Or at least the drivers were up to date, but as for errors nothing was presented in the device manager. That led me to search for some advice and or what to do next. What do you think I should do next? How can I determine what is the real problem and what parts would I need to replace or even upgrade to get my system working again. If you have the time and could help me out I would appreciate it.
after hours of playing or any activity Pc stops instantly, what would be the problem? the temperature is OK at all ,, or need change termal paste to Intel ?
