General issue. It could be anything, but I'm assuming it's the motherboard.
Hello. My motherboard ASUS P8H61-M LE has stopped working. With the new one, my PC's specifications are: motherboard Asus P8B WS, CPU Intel i7 2600 3.40 Ghz, graphics card AMD Radeon 6800 series and 16 GB DDR3 RAM at 1333 Mhz. After switching the motherboard, the PC must operate in power-saving mode set in BIOS; otherwise, it will reset upon system boot if switched to normal or higher modes. Even in power-saving mode, it resets when attempting to stream YT videos in 720p or higher resolution. It seems the issue isn't due to the system itself, as it also occurs during live boot Linux Mint. I don’t recall any settings from my previous motherboard, but I have photos of the new one. All other components appear normal, so it looks like something is misconfigured or the motherboard may be damaged.
If you need to operate in power-saving mode, it might suggest the issue involves power consumption. Consider using a different PSU to verify this idea.
After years of experience, I've realized that new items often fail and age isn't a reliable indicator for electronics. Your rating might be 650W initially, but component issues or wear can reduce performance over time. Consider the astronauts with top engineering support who still face challenges in space. I think your explanation highlights power-related concerns. Please let us know how this situation is addressed.
Well, four years isn't a lot for PSU and my parts are mostly the same except for the new one. I also tried different power calculators and got various results, but the highest I got was 352 W. Still, I'm planning to try another PSU if it's possible.
Let us know if it solved your issue. Generally, the best method to confirm a component's role in a problem is to swap it with a known working part. This explains why troubleshooting individual electronic devices can be difficult—people rarely have spare parts on hand. Repair shops typically carry replacements, but they only invest time in repairs when the expense becomes too high.
I provided the whole PC to a technician, and the issue was with the motherboard. Now I have fresh motherboard, CPU, GPU, and RAM, but the same power supply still works perfectly.
Reasonable. Video codecs run on the CPU, meaning using them for higher resolution videos will require more processing power
