Is the motherboard experiencing strange occurrences? (A supernatural event!)
Is the motherboard experiencing strange occurrences? (A supernatural event!)
The situation seems puzzling and lacks a clear explanation. It appears there might be an unexpected issue with the motherboard or power supply that isn't immediately obvious. I'm not sure what to focus on next, but testing with a multimeter could help identify voltage fluctuations or resistance changes. Let me know if you'd like guidance on that approach.
This might be a simple misunderstanding, but how confident are you in connecting the correct pins?
Are you certain the power switch is connected to the right pins?
For the 24-pin connector, bridge pins 4 and 5 activate your fans. (on my PC) The power switch pins are labeled PWR_SW
BIOS has been recently updated to the latest release and patch. The PWR switch pins are connected together and this prevents the PC from starting, which isn’t an issue with the switch itself. Additionally, it’s unclear how this would cause the PC to turn on by itself if the switch were faulty—switch appears normal.
According to the manual, your motherboard uses a standard 20-5 pin PANEL layout for it's front panel connectors. Please send a picture of what you're doing. Also, if you're bridging pins from the 24-pin power connector, there's a plastic shield there for a reason. Don't do that.
Consider adjusting your memory speed to 3200MT/S at 1.35v and setting the clock frequency to 1600. I suspect this could resolve the memory issue you're experiencing. I've noticed many people face similar problems, but Ryzen can sometimes be quite selective.
If the switch failed, it might be generating irregular bridge signals… For example, if it was nearly shorted repeatedly.
