Well, point one cleared up. Not a PSU problem.

Point two, probably not the CPU !

I would say the mainboard has died. Four months ? Mmmm, Infant
Death !

Don't waste your time. Get the mainboard replaced !

I would assume that this is a home build and not some kind of
commercial build. Otherwise I would be hammering at the vendor to
replace the board. They can test and confirm that its faulty in a
very short time. Let them return it to the manufacturer.

Again I don't think that its likely that the CPU is damaged. But as I
said, let the vendor take the strain.
