    Dead PSU?

    PC Specs:
    PSU: EVGA 600W
    MOBO: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
    GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060 XC
    RAM: Corsair DDR4 16gb
    3 weeks ago my computer shut off when I was not watching. When I tried to turn it back on, the mobo light flashed red for .5 sec and then nothing. I assumed it was the mobo dead, but i wanted to make sure so i took it to microcenter and with testing, they confirmed that the mobo had died. I RMA’d the board and when I finally got the new one back, I put my PC back together. Unfortunately the same red flicker came up on the new board and it wont turn on. Very frustrating. Could the issue be my PSU killing the boards? And is there a chance that it killed other components. I appreciate any feedback as this has been extremely stressful.

    the only real test is to replace that PSU?
    most EVGA units have a 10 year warranty - how old is yours?

        Hi,

        It could be a bad PSU that killed your motherboard. I would swap out the PSU with another known good unit and see if the same issue occurs.

        Also double check for any standoffs or any loose screws in the case as any loose metal objects can cause a short in the case.
