I recently faced an issue where my other PC would suddenly shut down. I decided to check using the PCU from the machine I’m using now. After reinstalling everything, I couldn’t determine which unit was causing the problem. My system would boot but fail to post. I powered it off and tried again after a couple attempts. Once I connected the 24-pin power connector, the motherboard’s indicator lit up. However, when I plugged in the 8-pin CPU, the indicator went out. Any advice would be appreciated. I’ve also tried another PCU, disassembled my current build, and checked it for obvious damage. I keep the PC specifications handy: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pZ9rBj
