Hello. Yesterday I experienced a sudden blackout with my screen and maximum GPU fan noise. Audio remained audible, but at full fan speed the computer shut down. The motherboard VGA LED stayed on, suggesting GPU failure. Despite testing various solutions—switching port, cables, power supplies, BIOS updates, and resetting CMOS—I still faced issues. My current setup includes a MSI MAG B550 motherboard, ASUS GeForce 3090 GPU, Ryzen 9 5900X, Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO, and a Phanteks Revolt Pro 1000W PSU. I have an old 1TB HDD, a 2TB M.2 SSD, and a Samsung EVO 250GB M.2 drive. Please share your thoughts before investing in a new board.

Have you considered moving the CPU and inspecting the connections? Would it be helpful to swap the components with someone else, like a family member or friend?

Unfortunately, I can't connect to another system with a compatible motherboard. Changing the CPU didn't help. The device appears brand new, with no bent or damaged pins.
