But whats going on is the system will try and boot up but then it shuts down,tries again and it may boot but normally it goes down and tries again until it finally boots. When I say boot I dont mean all the way to the desktop I just mean to even bios loading. I am 99% sure it is not the psu because when I check the voltage it stays constant under load. The cpu and mobo are both old and used as well. I need to figure this out and get things replaced soon because my wife starts school tomorrow and needs the desktop running perfect.

Anyways, could someone recommend troubleshooting tips or should I just replace the main 3?

I plan on replacing the mobo ram and cpu with these below but still am undecided. I know anything will really be an upgrade. Also too, are there any mobos with the 350 chipset that will work with the ryzen? I really dont want to go asus, and the other boards got crappy reviews.

test/replace the cmos battery and if that doesn't help bump the ram voltage if/when you can get to the bios.

A b350 chipset motherboard will support ryzen 2xxx cpu's but may need a bios update before it'll post, some boards allow you to flash the bios without an older/supported psu, some don't.
