I upgraded my system a week ago with the intention of using SLI, but things were fine at first. I was playing games that performed well on SLI, though I experienced occasional hiccups typical for such setups. After a few weeks, I discovered I could import profiles via NVIDIA Inspector and tested Monster Hunter World. Everything seemed normal until my PC suddenly shut down repeatedly. I thought it might be due to excessive power draw from the PSU, which eventually failed. My second GPU died too, and after resetting the system, it would restart itself, warning of repairs needed. Eventually, I tried a different PSU and a single GPU (Corsair GS800), but nothing worked. My CPU appeared dead, possibly due to M.UI protection in MSI BIOS. I moved it to another motherboard and tested RAM, but issues persisted—error codes 62, D4, or 04 appeared, and the system would loop endlessly. The BIOS blinked a flashback signal three times before doing nothing. I disassembled everything, tried various RAM types, cleared CMOS, and even updated the BIOS, but nothing resolved it. Now I’m unsure what to do next—my budget is tight, and I’m considering replacing the CPU entirely. I really need help.
