So... the PC won't start properly. I installed it about a year ago, and since then it's been a major issue. It powers on but then just spins the fans in an odd pattern, and the CPU and RAM lights keep flashing in sequence. I've swapped the motherboard, updated the RAM, and changed the power supply. Even after that, the same problem persists. I took it to a technician who said it's a motherboard fault. Now I'm considering buying another motherboard. It's my last option—either get help online or I might have to give up. Please note any spelling errors; sorry if I used the wrong language. Part list: Intel i3 13100f, Radeon RX580 GPU, 8GB, GIGABYTE B760M DDR4, Kingstone 16GB RAM, 3200MHz, 750mm power supply, SSD 1TB. Date: 2024-11-23 15:01.

What equipment are you using? I’ll outline all my parts or point you to a PCPartPicker guide. If we’re uncertain, we can suggest typical components. Have your 8-pin CPU power cable attached? Does your motherboard require a BIOS update for compatibility with your processor?
