A newly constructed computer ceased functioning after a few days.
I've been working with my first PC a few weeks now. It functioned well for days before it crashed unexpectedly. After the failure, I tried numerous troubleshooting steps but nothing resolved the issue. The red and yellow debug lights would illuminate when I powered it on, yet the screen remained off and I couldn't access the BIOS. I've checked everything from ensuring proper power connections to testing different RAM modules and even swapping the CPU, yet the problems persist. I'm starting to think a faulty component might be at the root of the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The red and yellow indicators indicate a problem in the manual. If it's a new CPU and memory, it might be related to RAM. https://download-2.msi.com/archive/mnu_e...WKWIFI.pdf Updated October 6, 2025 by thrasher_565
