It was the C13 cable lmao Now I have to resell the replacement motherboard I won on eBay last night

I could pull the PSU from my server which is only a few weeks old. It's only rated for 550W but that should be plenty to start it up shouldn't it? At least if it can get to POST I'll know that the motherboard isn't the culprit. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey all, yesterday, my PC had a random crash where the display driver appears to crash and requires a power cycle restart. When I powered down and went to power back up, the system powered on for a split second before immediately shutting down. Subsequent attempts to power on do nothing at all unless the PSU is switched off and presumably the capacitors drain. Each time it is exactly the same, PSU relay clicks, split second flash of LEDs/RGB and fans spin up before immediately powering off. I can't get to POST or BIOS. I left the PSU disconnected overnight and tried to power it on again this morning but no dice. Split second flash of LEDs and then nothing. Because it happens to quickly there are no fault codes or indicator lights to work from. It has the feel of something either immediately shorting out or something powering down to prevent possible damage. What I've tried so far: Tested PSU with a multimeter, all 24 pins are reporting correct voltage of 3.3V, 5V and 12V on the correct pins. Tried powering on without GPU connected to power or PCIe. The PSU successfully starts and remains on powering 10 fans and custom water loop when the ATX connector is jumped. Reseated RAM. None of these have made any difference at all. Recent system changes: Around 3-4 months ago I Switched from Ryzen 9 3900X to Ryzen 9 5950X and switched from an RTX 3080 to a 7900XTX - all brand new components. I did a safe mode DDU driver clean before switching out. Since then I have had what I thought were intermittent driver crashes where the system will freeze, the driver will attempt to recover and fail to do so. The screen remains frozen in place, any sound playing will continue but the only way to recover is a hard power cycle. 50% of the time, when I reboot into Windows the GPU is disabled in device manager and I have to enable it and restart to get going again. I had thought this was down to AMD drivers being trash, but now I'm wondering if this is related? Every time I had a crash like this I would check Windows Event Log and there was no mention of any errors, it was almost as if the crash was undetected despite AMD's drivers resetting all customisations to stock settings. System specs: -Ryzen 9 5950X -Asus Strix X570F Motherboard -Radeon 7900XTX -4x8GB 3200MHz DDR RAM -Seasonic Prime GX1000 PSU -Generic 2,5Gbe PCI NIC -1TB PCIe nvme -512GB PCIe nvme -2x SATA SSDs I have Googled, but all examples of similar symptoms are from people who are building a new PC whereas my system has been built for around two years with some upgrades done months ago. My PC hasn't been moved or jostled and I can't find any loose connections, it's almost as if something blew last night and given the fact that the system will refuse to power on despite what seems to be a perfectly healthy PSU (a Seasonic one, at that) I'm inclined to think the motherboard has given up the ghost. I can't see any evidence of damaged components on the motherboard but as I'm fairly confident that the PSU is fine and how rare it is for a CPU to lunch itself, the motherboard seems like the most likely culprit. Any wisdom, experience or suggestions would be gratefully received.

It was all worth it to get to this rank

Look at your 'Active clients' stat - that shows where your WUs are going right now.

If you're gonna do it, do is sooner rather than later! OcUK are experiencing longer than usual dispatch times recently because they're struggling to keep up with demand at the moment and who knows if they will end up being forced to close in the coming weeks...

It should be. I'm running my FE 1080ti on a voltage unlocked BIOS and maximum stable overclock and haven't had a single WU failure over the last week. It is custom wc loop cooled though.

Is it a genuine battery or aftermarket? Seems highly unusual for an OEM battery to fail so quickly.

Best bet would be to run a Windows 10 installer, Linux support for OpenCL is kinda patchy unless you're a Linux rockstar.

Yep!

Thats normal, check in GPU-Z instead of task manager and you'll see GPU load is at 100%

These days they aren't 'terminals' in the old fashioned sense of a 'dumb' terminal. Bloomberg terminals these days are basically just bog standard Windows 10 machines that run the Bloomberg software, which serves us a data feed provided by Bloomberg. Companies in financial services pay an annual subscription to license that software. They have a pretty steep learning curve to begin with because not only is the software heavily stilted toward power users (and they use their own, custom keyboard which last time I checked is like $200 to replace), it has the double whammy of being designed specifically for investment management professionals and therefore requires a functional understanding of investing. A terminal allows you to do straightforward things like track stock or bond prices, yields, dividends etc, but also do deeper analysis and research on an enormous universe of investment instruments, create a variety of reports, follow live news stories and the like.
