Ryzen 5 3600 build BSOD and won't post

[Ulti]

Hey peeps. I'm copy-pasting my reddit post as I'm having a issue with my PC atm.

Computer Type: Desktop
GPU: MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (Stock)
Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk
RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistix 2666mhz (2x8Gb
PSU: Some Coolermaster 600W
Operating System & Version: Windows 10
GPU Drivers: Latest (Updated this week)
Chipset Drivers: Latest (Updated this week)

Description of Original Problem: So my PC all of a sudden got a BSOD while playing a game called Squad. The error code is: nvlddmkm.sysR EQUAL
My PC restarted fine afterwards, but as soon as I got into discord all my peripherals, monitor and even the LAN port on the back of the motherboard went off and I had to turn off the PC by the power button.
Now when I try to boot it doesnt post with the CPU light shining on the debug lights?

Troubleshooting: Reseating RAM and GPU, Clearing CMOS

*UPDATE*
I got the PC to boot with 1 RAM stick in, but CPU clocks don't look normal. It is running 100mHz lower than it used to (can this be linked to having 1 RAM stick in now) also the GPU seems to have a terrible coil whine now under load.

Can this potentially by my PSU dying and starting to damage my components?

Whats the specific model of the PSU? And how old is it?

You can send me your dump file if you want me to have a look at it. Just PM me.
What is the excact model of that psu and how old is it?
You should run memtest on those RAM modules.
You say it boots with one module, run memtest on that module, swap it out for the other one and see if it still boots, if it does run memetest on that one as well, if not the stick is most likely faulty.

if you want to test within windows use this one, just run a few instances at once.

From what I recall its a Coolermaster i600. Not 100% sure, but it is about 5-6 years old now.
Yes the PC runs fine with 1 of the sticks in and won't even post when the other one is in, so I guess I'll just RMA it.
Planning on buying a new PSU today as I think it's long overdue

I once had random reboots on 1 5 year old PSU. Replaced PSU. No problems. Eish, I should really buy a PSU tester.

Yeah bought a new PSU yesterday, everthing seems ok, but the GPU still has the bad coil whine now and other RAM module is 100% dead and Evetech will get it replaced... So now I'm on the lookout for a new GPU. Pretty sure the old PSU had a bad moment and maybe overvolted the GPU and possibly that one RAM module, causing the PC to BSOD, killing the RAM module and hurting the caps on the GPU.
