    Mystery Malfunctions: Mainboard killed by PSU?

    I could in theory try it with the new power supply, but unfortunately I very thoroughly wired everything into the case after I replaced the mainboard, thinking it would finally resolve my issue. :/ I'd rather buy a decent but not too expensive spare PSU rather than taking all that stuff apart...

    Mystery Malfunctions: Mainboard killed by PSU?

    First of all, thanks to you all for the response so far. :) I'll try to answer all questions: * I have not tried a new install so far, this one is fairly fresh. I might try that in the next couple of days when I have time, just to be safe. * Yes, the symptoms seem similar with the new PSU...

    First of all hello, and thanks for accepting me. :) The following is copied over, so it already includes some edits. Sorry in advance for a long post - I will try and give as much information as possible to hopefully get an informed response or two - I really am at a loss and quite desperate...
