Computer Boot Issue
Computer Boot Issue
Hello,
this is my system details:
Model: GIGABYTE H410M S2H V3
Processor: Intel I3-10100
Storage: Patriot P300 SSD
Memory: 8gb RAM
Operating System: Windows 11 Pro
When I power on the machine, the cooler begins to spin, but the screen stays black and there is no sound from the motherboard. To get the computer to start, I must turn it off with the power button, unplug the power cable, then reconnect it before it boots normally. This process has to be repeated every time before I can start. Do you know what might be causing this problem? I've already tried replacing the power supply, but the issue continues.
If you have any advice or additional information, please let me know. Thank you.
This fault appears to be linked to a BIOS or bios problem, overclocking might trigger it, faulty components, and disconnecting the power cable can help it boot normally. This supports my conclusion as well. The power circuit seems to reset itself and restarts the boot process.
What you can try:
Reset the CMOS bios using the button on the motherboard’s back, resembling two arrows in a circle labeled CMOS Reset (avoid confusing it with BIOS Reset). This will revert your bios to the default, including settings. If you don’t have these buttons, look inside the motherboard; if not found, consult the manual.
Alternatively, unplug the power cable and remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard. Wait a few minutes, then replug it. This should resolve the issue.
Before proceeding, unplug the power cable and all connected USB devices. Set the PSU power button to off, hold it for 20 seconds, then reconnect only the power, keyboard, and mouse. Check if the problem persists after repeating these steps.
If the issue disappears, add one peripheral at a time—USB devices first—and troubleshoot individually. External hard drives and other USB devices may also be contributing to the problem.
Update on the matter: The faulty RAM was the cause, and it has been resolved.
