Hi guys,

I was near finished swapping from an old PC Case to the q300l.

I was happy after an hour of cable management turning the PC on everything worked normal. While letting the PC running, I wanted to tie all the zip ties which I let lose for adjusting something. Than the PC turned black and off. After deplugging the power and take out the battery, the Mainboard lighted up but the PC stayed dark. Even after around 10 min without battery and power. 

Do you have any idea what happened?

I thought maybe I fried my CPU, because the Mainboard is lighted.

 

 

Her are my spec's:

Rzyen 3 2200g

Asus prime b350m-a

Crucial ballistics sport 2x4gb 2400

Crucial mx 500 (working, tested)

Be quite system power 9 400w

Reseat all your power cables

 

And for future, maybe don't mess around with it while the systems running

Well, for starters, don't go mucking about the inside of your system when it's turned on. You probably caused it to short, and you're lucky to still have a stable motherboard.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Yes I know not doing something when powered on. Do you think it's the Apu? Or could it also be the motherboard?

I would say it's almost certainly the motherboard. You probably touched something or dragged something conductive across the board, maybe pulled out a cord that should not have been removed while the system was turned on. If you're messing with the motherboard while the system is turned on and the system crashes then doesn't power back on, it's your motherboard.

Ok, thanks a lot, I tried to find someone to test this. Do you know if it is possible to run a Ryzen 3 1200 on an board that has a 2xxx bios on it?

Yes, it is, and no BIOS update is needed to run first-gen Ryzen on a second-gen Ryzen board.
