Check your system components to determine if the issue lies with the CPU or motherboard.
I'm unsure if the problem lies with your motherboard or CPU. The fact you see a boot-up light suggests the CPU might still be functional, but it's not performing well. Your current setup with a 10850k and 2080ti seems to struggle under full load, which could indicate a bottleneck issue. It depends on whether the motherboard supports your configuration and if upgrades are possible.
Model and make details of the motherboard are not specified in the provided information.
It raises concerns about which components might be impacted by excessive voltage on Z490 boards, especially since your MSI Z490-A PRO is expected soon.
I also tried the other PSU, but the same problem appeared with both. I'm reading about the z490 default voltages being too high and haven't found a clear solution. I don’t want to cause any issues. EDIT: It seems I might need to turn off MCE on the new card? Anyone else has thoughts on this? Edited March 1, 2021 by Radageine
