This PC just won't work

[NoodleSoup]

Hello User!

 

Over the past 2 weeks I've been helping my cousin fix his PC which started crashing after a power surge in his house.

 

He's got a:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600x

GPU: Nvidia GeForce 1660

Motherboard: MSI B450m Pro VDH plus

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHz (2 sticks of 4 and 2 sticks of 8 )

PSU: Corsair VS 650 (650W)

HDD:WD Blue 1TB

Cabinet: Corsair Carbide spec 05

(His PC also has a Coolermaster Liquid cooling unit and 2 fans)

 

He receives errors from windows saying that some of his files have been corrupted and his DirectX keeps producing errors when he plays COD Warzone and even Minecraft. I tried replacing his hard disk but it's still produces the same errors. His system has blue screened thrice over the past week too.

 

So far we've tried everything from reinstalling windows, to replacing every piece of his system individually and we even tried installing Linux to see if it was just windows being windows.

Unfortunately we've had no positive result and don't know what to do anymore.

If you have any suggestions for what to do please let me know.

 

Thanks for reading!

Did you try replacing the power supply and SATA cables with ones that aren't shit?

Tried, it still didn't work.

 

I suspect my cousin might've damaged his motherboard but still thanks for the reply
