I contacted my store. He asked me to leave my pc with him for more troubleshooting. he's suspecting that I have a bad Power supply.

Rule of thumb, don't leave your PC unattended. You're putting too much trust on someone you barely know. I've seen terrible things happen in similar situations. I'm yet to see a technician who handles HW properly.

Try to request a convenient time for them where you can observe their troubleshooting.

While the PSU may be indeed bad, once you lost sight from your machine it's all speculations from there on.

Best of luck! Keep us posted.

My advice - get a refund if you can. With the cash try another (more reputable) store. You could also try and explain your situation to someone from the store, who's not completely r-tarded, or maybe even the manager (granted he's not r-tarded as well). Ask them if you could try booting the mobo in front of them, run a live Debian USB and see if all is fine.

I couldn't agree more Clap

There is literally NO motherboard manufacturer that has this bad of a failure rate. If all the boards had related issues then it may be possible that a bad batch found it's way onto the store shelves (typically caused by a bad batch of specific components) but with so many, vastly different, issues the most likely culprit is the store engaging in questionable practices Ouch

Maybe try a different Mobo if you can. the x370 gaming k4 is End Of Life. it has Bad Ram support one of the very worst in the AM4 lineup and bad Audio still not addressed by ASrock. the Gaming K4 is a hotmess and even ASrock knew it so they stopped making it.

Happy new year

And thank you guys for mentioning the EOL.
What MB should I go for?The store agreed to replace it with a different board. Waiting for me to pick the replacement.

Happy New Year!

If you want a mATX go for ASUS Prime B350M-E or ASRock AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac.

If you're OK with ATX form factor and higher $$$, go for ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VI EXTREME. I really couldn't recommend the X370 Taichi at the moment. My experience with ASRock hasn't been stellar thus far. MSI and Gigabyte are no-go in my list from a long time.

Other opinions are welcome too!

Let us know either way! We'd love to have some feedback and information.

A bit weird, but leaving the PC on, for consecutively 48 hours fixed my problem.  :S So,  I'll be waiting a few months to upgrade my chip and CPU as a final solution.
