I had mentioned it here. Do scroll up, and you’ll see it. The post I made on Thursday. The lack of thermal paste and the CPU fan not spinning at full speed was the reason that the computer auto-switched off after running for around 20 minutes. But the boot problem was there even before removing the CPU and thermal paste. I had tried using the NZXT SMPS before taking out the CPU and thermal paste. btw, NZXT’s official support in Europe replied, saying I can use the old 6A power cord instead of the 16A power cord that NZXT supplied. In case you are wondering, I had also tried with the 16A power cord (there’s a socket in the kitchen). I’m very grateful that y’all followed up and tried your best to help. But I think we had better abandon this effort. I’ll just buy a new motherboard. A few days ago I raised a support ticket with Gigabyte, where I shared with them the link to this thread. No response yet. -
Sounds good. I will mark this thread as solved since you be buying a new motherboard and that will allow you to rebuild your system.Comment

I used the same newly purchased NZXT SMPS with a new MSI B550M board and a Ryzen 5 3600G. The SMPS works. So that means either the Gigabyte motherboard had been fried by the old Frontech SMPS or it developed some fault or it may have been planned obsolescence. I guess it’s time to move on with the new motherboard. I would like to thank everyone in this forum for the care that y’all gave. I was surprised when one of you had asked if the problem was solved, when I had already given up. In most forums, people don’t care to ask. I am very grateful for what y’all did. Thank you.
ps: Gigabyte support responded eventually. Even they suspected it may be a PSU issue. They also mention they no longer test this model board since it is old.Comment
