Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with my computer that’s been acting up for more than a month. Sometimes it works perfectly, other times it takes a few attempts to boot up and then it functions normally. On some days it just fails right after the ASUS screen, and I took it to a local technician who replaced a failing SSD drive. Now it’s working again, but it’s still the same as before. I’ve attached pictures of the screen when it doesn’t respond. I’m not sure if the problem is with Windows or just my machine. If anyone has any advice, it would really help me because I’m getting pretty frustrated trying to turn it on and off! Thanks, Evan.

It could be an issue with the bios. But beyond that, I don't know.

Require more detailed information about the problem and hardware specifications. There was a random POST failure with no video, occurring every 8-12 cold boots. It turned out to be RAM that the board rejected, which wasn't listed on the manufacturer's QVL for that board. If your issue matches this, check your board's manufacturer QVL (considering processor series) to see if it's advised. Even with a recommendation, a faulty DIMM can still cause issues. It might be wise to test individual DIMMs separately if you have multiple units. One of mine wouldn't even POST in another machine. Updated: September 3, 2022 by An0maly_76 Added more details

Consider using different tools like a Windows 10 installation media. If it functions, try using an SSD drive or a corrupted Windows install.
