The problem appears to occur intermittently after launching the system. Sometimes the display shuts down, the GPU fans cease operation, or the screen remains active unexpectedly. This may happen during BIOS setup, while installing the OS, or when interacting with the system in any way. I have performed several stress tests; occasionally everything functions normally, but the issue recurs. Uncertain what is causing it.
Additionally, when running Furmark, switching rapidly between background and the furry object causes the display to turn off. In every situation, the system remains powered on. After restarting, five short beeps are emitted, followed by a boot cycle that leads to the same stuck state again when power is restored.
Please assist me. I have replaced all components, cleaned the parts, re-pasted the CPU and GPU, and temperatures are consistently low with no overheating. The system is connected to a good power supply (APC 1100VA).
Seems like the GPU isn't working properly. Try using the second one—it usually functions. With your F-suffix CPU, the system doesn't have an integrated GPU, so a dedicated one is essential. Are you using the original RM-series, RMe-series, RMi-series, or RMx-series?
You are likely using the 2021 model instead of the 2019 version, though the difference is negligible as both versions share similar build quality.
From a build quality standpoint, your PSU falls in the mediocre to good range, specifically Tier B+. It’s not exceptional, but it isn’t terrible either.

Nevertheless, there’s a chance your PSU might be contributing to the problem. The symptoms point to a failing GPU, so testing with a known working GPU would help confirm this. This could be due to the PSU wearing out over time and damaging the GPU, or it could be that the GPU itself is the issue.
If you prefer, you can return the PSU for repair (it comes with a 10-year warranty) or opt for a higher-quality unit. For gaming setups, Tier A PSUs are recommended—such as Seasonic Focus/Vertex/PRIME, Corsair RMx/RMi/HXi/AXi, or Super Flower Leadex Gold/Platinum/Titanium.
Tier A is ideal, while Tier A+ is preferred. The tier list I shared is available here: [link].
If you don’t have a spare GPU to borrow, another option is taking your entire PC to a repair shop for diagnostics, which can identify the exact faulty components.
Occasionally it activates without any sound code, the screen remains on without a display, and neither the keyboard nor the mouse lights up. Once I experienced four short and one long continuous beeps; I had to shut it down because the fifth beep wouldn’t cease.
A dedicated GPU is required to view the display. If the GPU is faulty, there will be no display and the system cannot detect this, preventing the POST from being passed. To successfully pass POST and enter BIOS, the following must function correctly: CPU, MoBo, RAM, GPU, and PSU. However, given your previous problems even in BIOS, it seems one or more components—possibly all of them—have issues.
