CPU switches on and off during startup (gigabyte ga h270 gaming 3) – BIOS issue?
Hello, thanks for reaching out! I appreciate your patience. Today my PC uses a Gigabyte GA H270 gaming board that powers on and off without booting. It was owned by a friend who changed the BIOS settings, resulting in this issue. I have a video of the LED status that might be useful. I've tried changing the BIOS, but I'm unsure if that's the problem. Could someone assist me? Thanks! VID_20230329_201137.mp4
Remove the battery for two minutes to reset the CMOS. Disconnect the power source from the wall.
Check the motherboard's Clear CMOS button located on the back near the Power Switch. If present, use it or refer to the provided guide for clearing the CMOS on the Gigabyte board. It's likely the processor is overheating and shutting down to prevent damage. Ensure the CPU fan is rotating properly. You might need to reapply thermal paste between the CPU and the cooler fan.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend’s PC problems. A forum on Tom’s Hardware suggests a short circuit or power supply issue might be the cause. Make sure to inspect the PSU and verify it functions properly. Another suggestion from TechPowerUp points to a short circuit and advises re-seating the CPU. You might also try resetting the CMOS by removing the battery for a couple of minutes and disconnecting the power supply from the wall. Hope this helps!
Thanks for your message. I understand you've already tried several fixes and still face issues. It’s possible a BIOS setting could be affecting your system. Have you considered checking the motherboard manual for any recommended BIOS configurations or updates? If not, you might want to consult a professional technician or look into advanced BIOS repair tools. Let me know if you'd like more guidance!
