The video you mentioned displays my gaming PC repeatedly shutting down and restarting. it keeps cycling endlessly with no visible screen. I've checked the RAM, CPU, GPU, and even replaced the CMOS battery. I switched to different power cords and used an SSD, but it still doesn't boot properly. The motherboard debug light for the CPU is on in the other file. I've already replaced the CPU and got a new CMOS battery, but nothing works. I'm trying to keep using this PC and would appreciate your advice. Please see the specs below... Intel Core i5 8600K Z370 HD3 GIGABYTE 16GB DDR4 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD, GTX 1060, 6GB RAM, some Enermax cooler. File names attached.
It seems the device shut down immediately, suggesting a power supply or motherboard issue. I’d start by checking the power supply to confirm it’s functioning. If that doesn’t resolve it, proceed with the following steps: 1) Reinsert the RAM one stick at a time to test it, 2) Use the onboard video to check if the GPU is causing the problem, 3) Reseat the CPU, 4) Replace the CMOS battery to refresh the BIOS settings, and 5) If none of these work, the motherboard might be faulty. Good luck!
After repositioning the RAM and testing both modules on another machine, I verified they function properly. The GPU also works fine. I attempted a CMOS battery reset but had no success. I also re-seated the CPU. This leads me to believe the issue is with the motherboard itself, as you mentioned. I plan to purchase a new one and check if that resolves the problem. Appreciate your help!
Great, I'm happy to assist! Let me know if it works or if you need more help. If the new motherboard isn't functioning, a bad cable might be the next possibility.
