Trying to figure out how common that this is. Trying to diagnose whether I need to replace a mobo, or a CPU.
Don't higher-end PSUs have bleeder resistors across the primary caps? Surely, they wouldn't have held a charge for 6hr, would they have?Did you hold down the power button to clear the caps?

It was bought used, so who knows what abuse it was subjected to.Huh, that is odd. I haven't heard of a 5800X having that kind of issue. Seems like it would be rather rare. Now the first 5900X wasn't quite stable, I think that was a core issue. I hadn't heard about PCIe lanes dying in a long time.
Except, I never want to do that on my Genoa's. 6096 pins ????INSPECT PINS on CPU people.
Maybe one is bent, or is not making good contact.
Inspect Sockets as well.
Threadripper/EYPC has MASSIVE memory and PCI-e issues if the CPU is not even Torqued properly, and they make you use a special tool to torque it.
But i always resocket the CPU, inspect socket, for bent pins or poor contact.
And many times i have been cursing upset because i realized somehow i bent a stupid pin reseatting the cpu and ruined a 400 dollar + board, unless i can fix it with a magnify glass and high precision tweezers.
Oh, and if you get a Ryzen CPU or APU, prefer one with SMT (simultanous multi-threading) Enabled on it. This 1200 has Four cores, and SMT disabled, and ... it bogs down. I'm mining on all four cores, and web browsing, and man, it is a little big sluggish. Whereas my Ryzen R5 1600 wouldn't bog down nearly as much, due to some SMT threads still having CPU time available.
