UPDATE: Thanks for the advice, I'll be using it in the future. But around the time I made this post said buddy ran off to get tech support in person without telling me.

Currently trying to help a buddy out over Discord.

He's on a milliary base and just got his PC shipped from home. But someone had taken his PSU while he was away, So he's bought a new one but can't get his PC to boot. Fans don't spin up or anything.

Been trying to figure out what motherboard he has so we can find a manual. but all we know so far is it's an ROG with an AMD socket.

Any help would be great thanks.

Would be nice to get a photo from under the GPU, commonly the mobo model names are written there. Other than that, what wattage is your friend's PSU rated for? Maybe the PSU just isn't powerful enough to run safely?

Another possibility could be that the CPU also got stolen, they should check under the cooler to see if the CPU is in place

PSU is rated for 750w. which should be enough for a 20series RTX card?

I'll tell him to check if some covertly yoinked the CPU as well.

I’m running a 12600k and a 3070 on my partner’s computer on a 650w PSU, so 750w is toootally fine for a 2000series.
