Which component is faulty: the motherboard or the CPU?
Hey, let's look at this situation and brainstorm possible solutions. Your system seems to have intermittent power and shutdown issues. Here are some ideas you might want to check:
- Verify the power supply is stable and properly connected.
- Test all components individually (CPU, GPU, RAM) to rule out hardware faults.
- Ensure the motherboard BIOS is up to date.
- Check for any loose connections or damaged cables.
- Try a different power outlet or switch to another USB port.
- Inspect the RGB lighting—sometimes it can be affected by dust or faulty components.
- Confirm that the keyboard and mouse are properly seated and powered.
- If you're using a new motherboard, run a system health check or diagnostic test.
- Consider using a different monitor or display to rule out screen issues.
Since you've already tried swapping parts and clearing CMOS, it might be worth reaching out to the manufacturer’s support for further guidance. Let me know if you want help with any specific step!
