There are strange problems with my microphone.
I’m working with an Asrock b450m-hav r4.0 and the GPU slot is detached. It doesn’t appear to be the main issue. The system boots normally for a short time but then powers off after 15–20 minutes, showing only a black screen. It only turns on when I disconnect and reconnect the GPU cables and power it back up. All components except the motherboard function correctly in another setup with an Intel i7-6700k. I have an R5 5500 in this machine; it worked before I swapped out the cooler for the stock one because my Noctua NH-D15 didn’t fit. I’m trying to get help so I can run Windows 11.
Welcome to the forums! Could you clarify what you're referring to? Are you talking about the retaining clip? It sounds like more than just a black screen—LEDs off and fans not spinning usually point to a power supply issue. Since you recently changed the CPU, it might help to re-seat it. The PSU appears to be around ten years old. You could try triggering a shutdown by running Furmark and Prime95.
I also attempted to launch Steel Nomad on 3DMark, but it crashed immediately.
