Ryzen 9 3900X compatible motherboard recommendations? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

It seems my motherboard died after five years of service. I did some testing to verify this. All my other components seem to work. I will do one last test before making a purchase but, again, the motherboard is the most likely culprit. The motherboard in question is an MSI MPG X570 Gaming Pro Carbon Wifi. Would it be wise to buy this exact motherboard again? If not, which compatible motherboard should I buy?

Before buying a new mobo, I hope you'll reset the BIOS settings to safe defaults and see if that clears any problems.

If you do end up buying a new one, I suggest one that supports ECC RAM. (I think Asus officially and Asrock unofficially support ECC, but I haven't kept up on available options in a year or two.)

Edit: Also, I hope you haven't overlooked power supply failure as a possibility. Some people forget that component, or don't realize what weird problems can come from it being underpowered.
