RAM not recognized.

Hello everyone, recently I bought and installed an SSD.

However booting up after the installation resulted in the cpu (the fan probably) being louder than normal. So i turned off to check if any wires were hitting any fan, it wasn't so I rebooted, and I wasn't met with any issues after that. I used the computer until the night, but when I i tried to turn it on the next morning, it wouldn't boot it wouldn't even power on, so I did some tests, and found out that the motherboard wasn't working.

 

I ordered a new motherboard, and found that although the (new) motherboard was working (it has powered on COUNTLESS times), there has been a fault with the RAM. This I found out using the BIOS of my motherboard (AMI) and matching the beeps from the speaker, 3 long ones.

 

My concern is with the Power Supply, if I were to order ANY new parts, is there a risk that the situation might repeat itself?

 

Thank you in advance,

S.O.OnCob.

Power supplies don't typically kill a single component like that unless pumping a buttload of voltage through them.

Also when asking if a part might be defective it's important to identify the specific product you have. For all we know you could have a fire hazard special or a 1600w platinum psu (actually for troubleshooting full system specs are preferred, the more info we have the better we can assist)
