PC Randomly powering off issue

[Generic White Kid]

Hey guys so I am just trying to find out what I can try next if some reason me replacing my power supply doesn't work. To give a quick rundown my PC will randomly have issues where it will turn off and then yellow light will appear on the motherboard and one of the RAM sticks would always die at that point and will not turn on(gladly they are under warranty) and 1 time the motherboard needed to get replaced (also under warrant). The troubleshooting I have done is replace motherboard all RAM sticks have died 3 times over and were replaced. Updated BIOS, reinstalled windows, and checked for malware. This doesn't occur supper often maybe like once a month. I have made sure when I replaced the motherboard everything is tight and secure. I just took my old power supply that worked perfectly fine and am waiting to see if any issues still occur. It's just that its a 750 watt, but I stressed test it and it didn't crash gladly so guess it's enough for troubleshooting this issue. Just looking for anything else I might be able to to try at this point.

 

Specs: 7900X3D

Rtx Asus Tuff 4080

1200 watt power supply platinum Corsair.

64 GB of RAM T-force 6000mhz

Asus Tuff b650 plus WiFi  motherboard

I believe you're doing something wrong.

Motherboards don't die. Ram sticks don't die. And sure enough not 3 in a row.

A psu doesn't kill mb and sticks.

Malware doesn't kill mb and sticks.

Users do kill mb and sticks though (I don't know how but to me it's the most probable).

(I've seen a guy mounting his mb without standoffs, here, for example)

Do you run your stuff at stock settings ?

How are the temps of your Ram and motherboard ?

What's the voltage of your Ram ?

 

Edit : what am I writing ? I'm still a DDR4 man. Maybe AM5 and DDR5 are still unstable...

The stands for the Motherboard come pre-mounted on my case. Its the Corsair 5000D. I have tried messing with the BIOS settings of my motherboard after it started killing my RAM. Temps are fine sitting at 34° C under high load it can get to 45° and it's air flow. Airflow is correct for the fan position so it's definitely not temps. I enable AMD Expo in the BIOS for the RAM just to see if that works. I did notice one of the power supply pins for the connector to the motherboard/power supply wasn't inserted for some reason and is loose. Doesn't seem like I can insert it back in and is permanently loose. RAM and motherboard temps are fine. I have 11 fans in the PC in total. Not including the power supply fan.

Also to add to this every driver I could have for everything has been updated motherboard, CPU, motherboard Firmware, etc. one thing I always thought was weird is there I can never get the RAM RGB to sync up for some reason Armory Crate is installed and up to date. Almost wish I didn't have it on the RAM at this point, but even downloading 3rd part software doesn't help.

Btw if anyone is wondering i don't have this issue anymore. I replaced the ram with Corsair vengeance DDR5 and no issues anymore.6000mhz. I found one person in a thread on Reddit with with the same issue and had the exact same motherboard CPU and RAM and said he replaced his ram. Been fine for almost 5 months now vs the ever week or 2 week issues.
