My computer hardware keeps dying

First my mobo died. It started acting weird when I'd remove the displayport cable, then it just completely shit the bed. It's an MSI B450 Gaming.

 

Now my ram and processor lights came on and died. I got a replacement through the warranty... but I haven't had this computer for more than a year. First one stick of ram died. I replaced it and used 8gb for a week or so. Then the second stick died. Then I messed around in the bios and the cpu light started coming on. So, I'm thinking 'Is it the mobo killing my shit?' 'Is it the power supply killing my shit?' 'Am I frying this with static like my laptop?' I'm a little afraid to put it back together. What could be the problem?

 

I have a Ryzen 5 3600, 2 stick of 8gb ram g.skill, Seasonic Focus PX-550 80 Plus Platinum. So it's not like I bought a bunch of crap here...

These are mostly clear signs of bad PSU power delivery, where the PSU delivers way more power then the system needs. That would be my guess though.. Do you have any other spare PSU that you can test for like a few weeks? 

 

Also, how is your perfomance in overall daily use? (poor usage while gaming, really obvious FPS drops, micro-stuttering, 1 second lags, etc...)

I kinda put it on the back burner for a while. It was before October that this happened. Pretty sure it worked fine. I'll send my psu in for the warranty. Thanks!
