Hey, I just set up this new PC and it's having a lot of issues. The biggest problem is that whenever I try to turn it on again, it doesn't boot properly—it just lights up the RGB and fans until it shuts down by itself. The only way to get it running and open Windows is by resetting the CMOS by removing the battery. Your system specs are an ASUS H510 M E INTEL I5 11400F GTX 1660 TI, running ASUS TUF 16 GB DDR4 RAM, a 500W PSU from MSI MAG A500DN.

Possible issue may lie in a small or faulty part of the CMOS array. It's possible you have defective hardware, so check for bad grounds or shorts. Confirm motherboard standoffs and screws are fully threaded into the board. Ensure no unusual contact with the case acts as a ground—same applies to each component, including the PSU and any other parts touching the board. This could be unusual, but if needed, start removing components one by one to test for an RGB header or similar affecting the CMOS array.
