From now on I will always keep my BIOS pup to date.

Thank you. I have just realised that I never deleted the account I bought the motherboard on which I thought I did. Going to attempt to RMA. Also I've only had the board 11 months apparently. I've never had a piece of tech fail that hard on me in such a short span of time.

Thanks pup.
I think I'll grab the MSI pro b850m-p.
Has everything I need. And it's a reasonable price.

Oh that's good to know.
Don't really have a price point tbh. I just want something that works and won't explode my wallet lol.

Feels a bit wrong matching that CPU with a cheap motherboard xD

Also my current case has about 4mm of clearance for my GPU iirc.
For the mobo I'm eyeing the A stock b850 pro a. It has the features I need while being inexpensive.
Case I'm looking at Jonsbo D32 pro. Honestly it's mostly because I like the way it looks
It's just a draft tho. Still looking around

No, but I think I'm going for an MATX board as it gives me an excuse to change my case. Reason I want to change case is my tempered glass is touching my CPU cooler unless I barely tighten the screws that hold the glass. I've got an old coolermaster h212 (the silver unpainted one) it's a bit sketch

I think what I'll do for now is buy a new one on Amazon (don't like Amazon but it's easiest to refund on for me), if it still doesn't work, I'll return it and reconsider all my life choices.
Thanks for your help with this. It means a lot ^^

This is what I get for going back to windows 😭
But yeah even using the bios flash tool gives me the same outcome as before.
I think this confirms that it's the board causing the issue. Must have just delt the final blow to the board while troubleshooting earlier.

I hadn't considered that I had potentially corrupted the bios. You might be cooking there.
I'll perform the bios upgrade and let you know how it goes. ^^

Yeah, I've checked the CPU pins.
I do have a spare flash drive, I haven't tried a flashback before so I'm not too sure how it works. Can I perform it if I can't get to bios?

Yeah I've tried swapping the ram to all possible configurations.
As well with my GPU out
My brother has a machine. I just don't know if it's am4 or 5.

It's a rog b650 gaming (I think the a model)
Don't remember bios version. but I can't get into bios right now as i can't get that far.
It gets about half a second of power before giving up. I've tried a different PSU and it retains the issue. So it can't be that. I think it's either CPU or the mobo

Update:
Tested all possible configurations for my ram. Issue remained
Xmp disabled still has the issue.
Tried remounting my GPU as I noticed some sag.
Now my machine won't turn on at all. Even with no GPU
This is starting to look a bit grim

Ive seen ram that used to cost £250 cost over £1.5k now
This is crazy, I sure hope there isn't any exciting new hardware coming out soon 😔

That sounds like something I'd be interested in. I want to work on my photography game, and having others around for advice would be awesome.
I also need to be more social.
