Need assistance with ASUS TUF X570 gaming setup?
Hey there, I see you're having trouble with your ASUS X570 motherboard. It's been working well for four years, but now it's not showing any power after a shutdown. You've tried everything and the PC is dead. I found a YouTube video that matches what you're experiencing, though it doesn't seem to offer a clear fix. I'm here to help you, even though I'm just a subscriber who's been through similar issues before. Your situation sounds frustrating, especially since your motherboard is no longer under warranty. Let's see if we can find another way forward together.
You're unsure which scenario is more amusing: someone long-time user greeting Linus as "Linux," or hoping a forum member will assist with this issue. There are numerous PC repair shops worldwide if you need help from other members. If you're open to suggestions, sharing what you've tried so far would be wise. In short, your PC won't start by pressing the power button or touching the front panel power pins. However, it can boot if you: 1) switch off and then back on the PSU using its power switch, 2) clear the CMOS by connecting certain pins, or 3) jump-start the PSU while plugged into the motherboard (by linking the PS-ON pin to ground). If this applies, your motherboard might be defective and require repair or replacement. If you can't afford a new board right now, consider temporary fixes: connect the case power button to the CMOS reset pins, link the reset switch on the case to both PS-ON and GND, and when you turn on the PC, press the reset button briefly. But be aware this will repeatedly reset BIOS settings—clock speeds, RAM configurations, boot order—and you'd need to slightly modify the 24-pin ATX cable isolation to enable the reset function. After that, you'd have to tape electrical connections for safety, permanently changing the cable's isolation.
