Moved from an M2 into an M3 a few months ago. Was initially impressed with the fact an XFX 9070xt could fit in the M2, this being my first SFF case. The M3 came out shortly after I finished the build so I decided I’d ‘upgrade’ to it for more room and use the m2 for a second build for my Fiancée. Really enjoyed both, fun to build in.

This M3 has 3x 120mm T30’s case mounted, 1x T30 on the cpu cooler and 2x 140mm D30’s which I recently added to the side bracket. I need to get the new 140mm side bracket design ordered and then I’ll be happy with it.

3 Weeks since we adopted her, finally coming out of her shell!

I’m having some major issues with a PC I built a year ago, and it’s become completely unusable.
Firstly let me say it was completely fine the night before.

I tried to boot it last night, no signal to the monitor despite being on, tried again with no luck so I then cycled the plug socket and tried again, it worked but then crashed..

Since then:

Sometimes the fans spin up but there’s no signal to the monitor. Other times, I get a black screen, a blinking cursor in the corner, or a frozen loading wheel.

I managed to get to a "Diagnosing your PC" screen once, but it just hung there and froze.

When I finally made it to the desktop, my mouse and keyboard lost power, the cursor turned into a glitchy, multi-colored square, and the whole thing froze within 30 seconds. I can’t even get into the BIOS settings anymore.

Pulled out the GPU to test with integrated graphics (still freezes).

Tested different RAM sticks in different slots (no change).

Could it be CPU or PSU?

Just adopted this girl!
