I recently assembled a new PC for my brother, and everything proceeded smoothly until we transferred it into his room. After plugging it back in, the GPU and SSD stopped functioning. I’ve tested the GPU on another system and confirmed it no longer works. I’m unsure what might have caused these problems. Which components can I retain from this build? Should I discard everything or just replace what’s faulty? Here’s the build link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nw46Dj

My initial thought was about power issues disrupting hardware. I suspect testing the setup beforehand might have triggered a problem. If power instability occurred, identifying which component failed would be tricky without further checks. Probably the PC case is the main concern. For more detail, let me explain further once someone with deeper expertise joins the discussion. - When connecting the GPU to another machine, does it show up in BIOS? Or can you even start up at all? - If you connect the SSD to a different system, is it recognized by the BIOS?

Thank you for your reply. The GPU failed to post, and the SSD wasn't recognized in the BIOS.

I’m planning to swap out the PSU, motherboard, GPU, and SSD, praying everything works out well.

That's a random string of letters and numbers—probably a code, a password, or just some gibberish. What do you mean by "PSU"?

I don't know, is it okay? If it is, could you recommend someone better?

It's around 80+ gold, but I'm not sure who BitFenix is.

I checked the Reddit thread and believe your unusual PSU might be the reason for the issues with your components.

Sure, it's a good idea to maintain your CPU, RAM, and cooler for optimal performance and longevity.
