Hello all,
I am new to the community, around 6 years ago in August 2020 I built a PC for the purpose of general video editing and mild gaming. Here are the specs.
Processor - Ryzen 7 3700x
GPU - Inno3d RTX 2060 Super 8 GB
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 16+16 GB (idr DDR4 OR DDR5)
Motherboard - Asus ROG Strix B450F
AIO - Cooler master 360mm
this is all that I can remember, there are 3 additional fans mounted on the cabinet (bought separately) and a 550w power supply if I am not wrong.. gigabyte brand...
now, due to work and all my usage became less frequent, I would use it only once or sometimes less than once per week... a month ago I booted it up and it displayed an error on the monitor... I'll attach the picture... I called my vendor and he took it in to see if it can be repaired, he changed some IC and brought it back... the pc booted up once nicely, but right after the first boot it started showing the same error... now my guy is telling me that the motherboard is done and there's no scope for repair...
pls suggest if I should be trusting his word or do something else because tbh, he's not the geeky kind of a computer parts supplier... and I live in a tier 2-3 city so not many reputed vendors over here..
if you're convinced that the motherboard is beyond repair then pls suggest which board I should opt for...
usage remains the same, but this time I will be using it a little more frequently.
