PC turns on only with CPU power cable unplugged.

Hi.

Just like in the title.

I've been using this PC with 7600X CPU for 3 months now untill it randomly turned off while gaming. It doesn't respond to me pressing power button, unless I disconnect the CPU power cable. If I do it that way it just spins the fans and stays that way, CPU doesn't get warm.

This is not the first place where I ask for help so please don't tell me to check the cables... I did that 4 times already. I albo changed the CPU power cable and used different correctly labeled socket on the PSU.

 

Other notable components are:

RX6800XT 

Asrock B650M PG Riptide 

Kingston Fury 16GB 6000 MT/s

Seasonic Focus GX-750 Gold

Based on the information provided, it seems like there may be an issue with either the CPU or motherboard. It's possible that the CPU or motherboard may be overheating or there could be a problem with the power supply. Checking the CPU cooler, thermal paste, fans, and airflow can help identify any overheating issues. Testing the power supply with a multimeter or using a different power supply can help determine if the problem lies there. If none of these solutions work, it may be necessary to replace either the CPU or motherboard, and it's recommended to contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for assistance.
