PC suddenly won't boot properly

[oblique yarrow]

I had an issue with an adapter cable for my 24-pin. Swapped it out with the stock PSU cable, and now PC refuses to boot properly... Sometimes I make it to windows, other times I don't. I either get a bluescreen, or my PC turns itself off... I mostly get a CPU error on my debug led.

What do I do now?

Did you try to clear CMOS, as maybe, due to power loss something got screwed up. What are your specs?

[oblique yarrow]

Will try. 7800X3D, Gigabyte 3080 gaming OC, B650 Aorus Elite AX, 2x16 gskill trident z 5 RGB 6000mhz

Power supply?

Corsair rm1000x

I don't remember entirely anymore, but there was the issue with it melting (like literally) on this exact board if I'm not wrong. So if it won't boot, please remove the CPU and check the underside. I don't remember what caused it and how / if it was fixed

Well as you get to Windows sometimes, it's probably fine

You're talking about soc overvoltage, doubt that's it

[plush dragon]

i doubt it as well, as had it blown up, you wouldn't boot at all

Resetting CMOS allowed for a successful boot, am in windows

Firefox is corrupted though

Now time to plug in all sata devices as that was also an issue before

[plush dragon]

Alright, let's hope it works

And simply moving Usb 2 plug into different header brings it back

And reset cmos does nothing anymore

Just found sth else hoping it's that

Now my AIO isn't being recognized

So I noticed a sata power plug just got ripped out of my fan rgb hub after working on it, I'm thinking the cable was already damaged. I removed it and can boot.

Aio won't receive power though so cpu overheats

Oh hold on I think I see the cause

[oblique yarrow]

Yeah one of my sata power cables is busted

[plush dragon]

That could explain the failure to boot

PC is fully functional again, it was the sata cable
