Hi,
so what exactly happend is that i pressed the turn on button, got out of the room, came back after 5min and found the cieling light bulb dead and the PC in the "bootless"(?) state with only the PSU's fan working while the case, GPU and mobo had only LED lights on.
When i just got this pc i did have issues with the 24 pin atx connector being to long to fit the socket deep enough for its hook to attach itself to the socket and until i fastened it really, really tight it did fail to boot after workin flawlessly for days on a couple occasions, but since that manly fastening it worked without problems for the last 1yr+(i got a thumbs up from ASUS support that i can run the mobo with the connector in that state)... So thats the first thing i checked but it made no difference.
Other than that the only thing i can add is that for the last 3-4 weeks on a couple occasions the monitor would suddenly turn off, losing input from the GPU and id have to turn off the PC to solve the issue(reseting would not solve it) but it only started happening with one specific game and only ever happened with that one game which obviously had issues with my GPU(or the other way around) as for some reason accepting a group invite in game would cause the game to "lose the GPU's priority/focus(?)" with the fans RPM instantly drastically dropping along with usage, temp and in game FPS so i blamed the game for that specific issue.
As for the possbility of the cause being a surge that burned a comp, well all i can say is there were no thunderstorms or any, even brief power shortages in those 5min... I HAVE to say this was a thunder from the blue sky.
Anyway, not sure how to proceed so any hint would be helpful, thanks.
