Hi, hope everyone is doing alright. I've had a friend dropped off his new PC at my place because he couldn't get his PC posted. So, I took it in and investigated it myself. Here's what we got... Mobo: GIGABYTE B550M K CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (he also bought a Ryzen 7 5800x and it is with me with the box) CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 RGB Fan RAM: G.Skill DDR4 3600MHz 8x2gb M.2: Inland 3D NAND M.2 2280 1TB NVMe GPU: MSI RX 5500 XT Gaming 8GB PSU: PowerSpec 650W 80 Bronze Semi-Modular Anyways, I went ahead and tried booting it from the power button on the case and nothing happened. I tried jumpstarting via power pins, nothing. I disassembled the motherboard from the case and had only the 24-pin ATX power and CPU power connectors plugged in, jumped it, nothing. He also gave two PSUs, including the one I mentioned (I have tested the power supplies via paper clip method) and they worked fine. Furthermore, I removed the CMOS battery for around 6-7 minutes, no change. At this point, I really think the motherboard is faulty, but it's weird because my friend told me that mobo was new. What are y'all thoughts?

It seems like the system is experiencing an issue. The hardware appears to be malfunctioning.

It's actually quite impressive—the cheapest Gigabyte board is quite solid, and the 5800X really stands out for its performance.
