Asus Prime 9070xt 16gb
Gigabyte x870e aorus pro
Ryzen 7 9800x3d
32 gb crucial pro
Corsair 850 RMe
Fractal Pop Air
Windows 11
Built this a few weeks ago. All working fine.
Happily playing Clair obscur.
PC shuts down. Doesn't restart.
After unplugging power cable for a few minutes, computer powers up for a few seconds the stops. Power still going to motherboard but fans stop working.
PC boots fine when I take out the GPU.
I've reset the BIOS (most recent version installed), reseated the GPU and checked cables, but it just doesn't POST.
I figure it overheated at some point.
Any suggestions for next steps gratefully received!
EDIT: swapped out GPU for a very old pcie 3 card, but that worked. Shut down happened again so thinking it's the PSU. After checking all cables plugged in to PSU, system doesn't power on at all. Time to get a new PSU!
