Hey! I set up a new PC about two years ago and it’s acting oddly for nearly a year now. When I play games, it shuts off repeatedly until I unplug it. I’m experiencing low FPS in games like Minecraft and there’s a buzzing noise from the PSU when I crank up the graphics. I’ve upgraded the power supply to 650-850 watts, swapped out the GPU to a 3060 Ti OC to 3070 Ti OC, but nothing fixed it. I learned about coil whine and its possible sources—PSU, GPU, and motherboard. Since I changed both PSU and GPU, the last chance is the motherboard. Given these specs, could this be the issue?
