Video showing the issue: https://youtube.com/shorts/7U7aUOoedKs?feature=share
PC shut off without warning while gaming (Back 4 Blood). Nothing else running besides Discord. I'm talking full black screen, not even a bsod. Running Windows 11. Wouldn't turn back on. PSU (Cooler Master MWE Gold 550W) makes a "tick" sound when I try. The PSU fan does seem to spin for a second.
Fully rebuilt the whole system using a brand new motherboard (B450 Tomahawk Max -> brand new B550A-Pro), and outside of the case which is an NZXT H510 Elite.
Only attached the CPU (3700x), AIO (Kraken X63), RAM (2x8GB XPG Spectrix 3200 cl16), and SSD (Crucial P1). Jumped it with a screwdriver to the power switch header on my motherboard. Same issue.
Added GPU (ASUS Dual OC RTX 3070) and same issue. The GPU light flashes momentarily.
Also tried switching the RAM sticks, only 1 RAM stick, unplugging and replugging all the PSU connectors, clearing CMOS (removing the mobo battery for a minute), and disconnecting all USB devices. Seems like something is shorting it but I don't know if my PSU is just straight up dead after a year.
This issue has happened before of not being able to boot. I rebuilt it outside of the case and was able to jump the power switch to boot it reliably. I then rebuilt it in the case with front panel/hd audio/front panel usb connector disconnected (because I thought the case was causing the short). I have since left the PC on for a couple weeks in fear that it wouldn't boot again if I shut down. That was until this happened again and I can no longer seem to boot it up.
Any help is appreciated!
