I don't see any damage anywhere on the board. No odors at all. This has me completely baffled. I've not had a PC ever just quit working without warning, let alone the fact this is just over a year old. The graphics card was picked up in late 2017.

EVGA G3 1000W. It was new as of Nov 2016. Sorry, I don't have a system anywhere near as powerful as this. The test board did boot up perfectly fine.

Clocks as in microwave, coffee maker, stove, alarm clocks, etc. Will edit main post to reflect this information. Will try connecting PSU to other board(s).

Would it matter what board it test with?

Hi. So I have a bit of an issue at the moment. My PC is about 1 year 4 months old. The system specs: EVGA G3 1000W 80+ Gold, i7-6850K, ASRock Taichi X99, x3 Corsair DDR4 8GB 2666MHz, PowerColor RX 580, and a Toshiba SDD (don't remember exact model) with Linux Mint (and encrypted Home). The system was on for 10 or 11 days without issue and I've not ever had a previous issue with it working, but woke up to it being off. The power didn't shut off as no clocks (EDIT -- i.e. coffee maker, alarm clocks, oven, microwave) were messed up. I've done as much trouble shooting as possible. I can power the system up, but it doesn't do much. The system will either come on for a few seconds and the CPU fan will be at max speed, restarts and the runs at idle for a few seconds and then shuts off. -- No video come on for a few seconds and the CPU fan will be idling, then restarts with CPU fan running at idle for a few seconds and shuts off. -- No video comes on and stays on for maybe 20-30 seconds, then shuts off. -- No video After the above, the board cannot be powered back on unless I shut off the power supply and short it to drain power. What I've done, and get no beep codes or error message on the on-board display: Tested PSU with 24-pin short and it works fine. Disconnected everything except a graphics card and 1 stick of RAM. Tried each of the sticks, one at a time, in each of the DIMM slots Tried different graphics cards: PowerColor RX-580 and some old low-end generic PCIe cards Checked CPU, re-seated, new thermal paste. Reset CMOS between each different test using on-board pins/header Tried BIOS A and BIOS B. (EDIT) Tried just CPU (EDIT) Tried just CPU and RAM It's late and I'm rather tired, so please excuse me if I've left out any information. Please let me know if you need anymore details. I'm essentially out ~$700. I don't want to buy a new CPU and motherboard, unless absolutely necessary. I believe I just need to figure out which component isn't working so I may contact the company (Intel and/or ASRock, as both have a 3 year warranty from the manufacturer; parts were purchased Nov. 2016). Any help and/or advice will be more appreciated than I may express via text.

@M.Yurizaki I know SATA is tied to AHCI, but it's not the same thing. I did say for "accuracy sake". EIDT Just to be clear, I'm not saying this to be an (insert your choice of word(s)). Just wanted to point out that it's AHCI. If ever asked and one answered SATA, they would most certainly be incorrect.

For accuracy sake, I do believe what most are calling 'SATA' in comparison to NVMe is called AHCI. Also, IOPS relate to latency, not the bandwidth of a device.

You could make some with nylon which are much finer than what you will get on (virtually) any case. They are washable too. I made some for an old computer. They aren't pretty, but they stop way more dust than most filters I've seen.

you want it fungal? never mind, just got message. link is on the way.

This is legit. I purchased 2 Humble Bundles and have no use for a second 1Password subscription. I'll give it to the first persons that messages me asking of it. Must register today: March 31st, 2017.

Just giving the key away. See other thread...

I haven't seen LTT's yet, but I read the thread and seen some of the YT comments in the screen cap. in that thread.

I don't know any yet, but I do enjoy seeing what kind of things companies come up with.

I didn't watch the video but if you're talking about a 5-axis robotic arm, I believe I've seen some used ones online for $25,000+ per unit. I'm not sure if there is an order minimum or where to find them now. This was years ago. Probably closer to $50,000 each now. All amounts are in USD.

I have a key for 1Password and possibly a key for Todoist which I may not be able to use and which must be redeemed today (March 31st).
