The scent combined with the lack of posting likely indicates the issue. For absolute certainty, bring it to a nearby tech store—even if Plays.io has an IT team—and have them run tests on another device.
I placed an order for a fresh motherboard and CPU since I initially assumed the issue was with the CPU, but later discovered it was actually a RAM problem. Now I need to wait before purchasing a replacement.
Based on my understanding, you may be able to skip replacing the motherboard.
Sure, that makes sense. You could likely market it as an unproven board—though the B450 and B550 share similar CPU support, the B450 might require a BIOS update (just in case). By the way, I was hoping to find a B450 board so I might be able to purchase it from you.
