Occasional BSODs and crashes, system is not booting.
Occasional BSODs and crashes, system is not booting.
I experienced unexpected crashes and BSODs with my X570 Aorus Elite R5 3600. The issue seemed linked to graphics card problems, but random static noises through speakers also occurred. After replacing an old GPU, the problem disappeared temporarily. Swapping a new GPU resolved it again, though it returned after a few days. Now I’m unable to boot at all. No debug LEDs are visible, power to peripherals is lost, Wi-Fi lights up, fans spin fast, and the system powers on but won’t shut down. Recent checks with HWInfo showed normal temperatures. My suspicion points to CPU or motherboard issues. I’m hesitant to buy another part without confirmation. Any suggestions or possible fixes?
I've tested two GPUs, two power supplies, four RAM modules in all slots, and reset the CMOS. I haven't removed the CPU yet, but it doesn't appear to be accessible under a cooler and kept in place only occasionally for cleaning. I can attempt it again later.
It seems the mobile or processor failed despite trying all possible component swaps. If you manage to obtain a different CPU, that would likely be the next step to consider.
