Change the PSU switch two times prior to the PC powering up
Change the PSU switch two times prior to the PC powering up
So... I've been using this PC for about six months now, and it's been one of the oddest problems I've encountered. Every night I power down the machine and then turn off the PSU switch, but in the morning I have to flip the switch again. Only then does the power button respond. Once it's on, everything works properly.
My motherboard has RGB lighting on the VRM cooler, but when I shut it down, the lights don't stay on even though the PSU is active. That doesn’t make sense. I think it might be related to the BIOS rather than just hardware, since I keep updating it.
I usually stay updated with the BIOS, and for a month or so everything functioned normally. Then, after one update, the issue started appearing again—first with a couple of updates and then after another. Recently, after installing a new BIOS update, the lights came back on, and everything worked as expected.
But then it happened again after a few hours without power. If I leave it off for about 30 minutes or an hour, it works fine. The PC hardware includes a Ryzen 9 9950x3d, Asus Rog Strix X870E-E, and Corsair HX1500i.
I’m really struggling to figure this out. Please help me understand what’s going on.
