Randomly froze up on me last summer. Wouldn't boot to windows after that. Mobo light stuck on orange/amber. Brought it in to Best Buy and they told me it was probably the motherboard but they wouldn't do anything else so I bought a new mobo, same model. Took it into another place with the new mobo and told him to swap it out. He insisted he could repair the old mobo by replacing a couple of little black joints that are on the board. I was skeptical. A few days later he calls me up and tells me it's working. I get back home and it works for 3 hours and then it froze up again with same mobo orange light. Brought it back in with the new mobo and told him to just swap it out.

Fast forward a week and he texts me to come get my PC because it has a demon in it. :skip:
He said it booted up outside of the case but would not boot once mounted. I'm gonna bring it into another place this week now that I have a little cash saved up. I really miss gaming... :sadcam:
All of this and not a single person recommending swapping in a PSU to test?

Unless you can get a nice deal on the 7900 XT or need a GPU right now I’d wait.
Need new GPU for my new computer build.
Going to buy 7900 XT AMD graphics card this week but I heard the new AMD and Nvidia GPU cards are coming out. So I will wait for the price for card to make my decision

Downsizing my pc cases, both builds I’m using the CoolerMaster Silencio S600. Just ordered a Lian Li O11 Air Mini. Will order a 2nd one if I like it.

Recently picked up a Gigabyte RTX3060 12GB OC to replace an old GTX1660 6GB.
