Hi all,
I figured id post this here as I won an S4M and figured some of you may know how I should tackle this issue.
My Specs...
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-B350N Gaming Wifi
CPU: Ryzen 2600X 95w TDP & 2200G 65w TDP
GPU: Powercolor Vega 56 Nano 1x8pin+1x6pin PCIE connector and RX580 ITX 1x6pin PCIE connector
RAM: G-Skill DDR4 Samsung B-Die 3200MHZ 2x8GB
Drive: Samsung 960 EVO NVME PCIE SSD
PSU: HDPLex 400W DC-ATX + Official Dell 330W AC adapter
Monitor: ASUS MG24QR 144Hz Freesync monitor
Keybaord: Logitech G413 Mechanical LED Keyboard
Mouse: Logitech G502 RGB gaming mouse
Previously was running my RX580 and 2200G with no issues, then decided to upgrade to 2600X and Vega Nano.
I assumed it was probably the Vega Nano requiring too much power so swapped that out for my RX-580 ITX and the issue persisted.
I swapped in my previous processor, the 2200G and the everything worked fine
I then swapped in my Vega Nano to pair with my 2200G and everything works fine too in that configuration.
Its only when I add the 2600X that it gives me issues.
So I assumed it must be a power issue due to the peripherals requiring power at startup and removing them makes it easier on the PSU to supply required power.
My concern is, usually during power-up the system isnt using a lot of power am I right? So the Dell brick should be able to get it to boot up and I would expect random shutdowns while actually doing something that demands power like gaming.
My concern is that this CPU might be bad ( which i assume to be unlikely as CPU's are pretty robust from my experience)
So is this the PSU or the CPU?
If it is the PSU shouldn't it provide enough power to at least get the system to boot into windows?
I have a Kill-A-Watt monitor and Multi-meter if any of you would like me to test some things out.
Thanks in advance.

Previously was running my RX580 and 2200G with no issues, then decided to upgrade to 2600X and Vega Nano.
- Utilized DDU to remove Rx580 drivers and shutdown system to install New GPU, and the CPU.
- Turned on system and it took a while to POST, seemingly surging as it did (fans would spin, slowdown slightly, spin normally again, slowdown etc)
- System finally booted up and I proceeded to reinstall chip-set drivers and Vega Nano GPU drivers
- Proceeded to reboot the system to wrap up driver install and the system seemed to be shutting down normally with the screen stating "restarting" and the screen going blank but the power button on the S4M stayed lit.
- After giving it a few minutes, i decided to hold the power button to manually shutdown, and it would not shutdown!
- Had to pull the plug to manually shut system down moving forward
- After plugging system back in and powering on the system, it would either complete POST but nothing would show up on screen or heard from speakers, or not complete POST at all ( system beeps once when POST completes, not at all when it doesn't)
- Resetting CMOS gave similar results, so proceeded to disconnect all peripherals except for Display port cable and of course the power.
- After doing this the system would Boot to windows more consistently but ofcourse I was unable to access BIOS without keyboard connected.
- Once i was in Windows I immediately hooked up mouse and keyboard and everything was fine.
- No issues in device manager, and VEga Nano and 2600X were seen by system just fine.
- Proceeded to reduce voltage on Vega Nano by -50% and chose the "Power Saver" profile within windows.
- Spun up Overwatch and played that expecting the system to shut off due to power demands but it played just fine.
- Thought maybe this was all a fluke and proceeded to restart system to attempt accessing the BIOS, again power button would not shut off and I had to manually pull cord.
- And its been a merry go round since, where sometimes it will POST/Boot up if i disconnect all peripherals before Powering on system and then works fine once I'm in windows.
- BIOS up to date
- Reset CMOS
- Removed residual power from board
- When able to access, reset BIOS to Defaults
- Enabled/disabled memory xmp profile in BIOS
- Disabled XFR2 and any CPU boost options within BIOS
- Reinstalled BIOS
- NO bent pints on CPU
