I recently upgraded my PC with some new components, but it’s not booting up anymore. I thought a mistake by a helper friend might have damaged the SSD pins. After checking, I removed the new RAM and the RTX 3060, but nothing worked. It seems my power supply might be too weak—my CPU draws 65-140W and the GPU uses 550W, while my supply only provides 650W. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

We require complete specifications. Also, the GPU doesn<|pad|> to not consume 550W; no GPU model exists with that power draw. The PSU wattage suggested by manufacturers is a very cautious approximation for the total system's energy use when that GPU is installed.

There are several GPUs with power draw above 550 watts, though most come without that much out of the box. Wattage matters, but it can be influenced by many factors. Changing your CPU without updating the BIOS won’t fix the issue, but updating and swapping in a new GPU should help. The 3060 isn’t extremely power-hungry, but if your power supply isn’t up to the task, it might not work.

No, it doesn't. SSDs don't have pins. Please share a photo of the damaged item if you'd like further assistance.

It seems the device isn't functioning properly right now.
