Hi Everyone,
I built a PC a couple weeks ago, and it was working great until yesterday. Now I can't even see the mobo splash screen or get into the UEFI. The Dr.Debug led display on the motherboard gets stuck at 36. According to the manual, the info for the code 36 is listed as : PEI_CPU_SMM_INIT. I tried unplugging and replugging in the RAM and resetting the CMOS. Here are the specs of the computer:
ASRock X670E Taichi AM5 EATX Motherboard. 4xDDR5 slots, 2 x PCIe 5.0 x16 Slots , AMD Cross Fire, Quad M.2 slots, 2.5GB LAN, WIFI-6E, 5,1 HD audio, HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4 ports, USB4 Type-C, 8 Layber PCB
GIGABYTE WINDFORCE GeForce RTX 4070 12GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Video Card GV-N4070WF3OC-12GD
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X - 12-Core 4.7 GHz - Socket AM5 - 170W Desktop Processor (100-100000589WOF)
G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Desktop Memory Model F5-6000J3040G32GX2-RS5K
Seagate Exos X20 ST20000NM007D 20TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Really, 650 Watts isn't sufficient for those specifications. Consider using 750-800 Watts instead. Second, unless you manage to relocate the 20TB drive to another system to verify functionality, it might be worth checking. Alternatively, your BIOS could be set to Legacy booting, which is probably the case since it would indicate the issue. Also, 20 Terabytes—find a seller for that, please! Besides that, upgrade your power supply just in case and see if that makes a difference. Hope this helps.
