Hello, For some weeks ago I was put in my side panel and when i put it in the computer just died and it wouldn't start backup.

then did I gave my mothers boyfriend my computer and he took it to his work and he said that the motherboard, cpu, ram and the gpu was dead, what could have killed my components?

Could be a lot of stuff that went wrong, but the first thing that comes to mind is a power surge which the PSU did not protect against.

Do you often have power issues where you live? Flickering lights, straight up power going out, etc.?

 

But of course I don't know what this person tested and how, if you didn't place a new power supply in the computer, that could very well be the issue.
