PC not booting
PC not booting
Hi there, everyone seems to be having a great time.
Suddenly my PC isn't booting up, it doesn't even respond to troubleshooting prompts. The troubleshooting lights, RAM indicators, RGB fans, and the Mobo RGB display are all active, along with other components. Even the RGB light on the motherboard is on. I've tried everything: unplugging, resetting CMOS, disconnecting SSDs except one NVMe drive that has OS installed. Someone suggested it might be a power supply issue, so I tested another working PSU but still couldn't get a boot. I noticed when the PC was running normally, the RAM RGB lights would light up after pressing the power button, but not this time. If there were any problems with the RAM, the DRAM light would have appeared. I also had previous issues with a dead RAM module.

When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's important to provide complete system specifications. List them in the order you built them: CPU, CPU cooler, Motherboard, RAM, SSD/HDD, GPU, PSU, Chassis, OS, Monitor. Include the PSU age along with its make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard is also needed at this stage. If someone mentioned a potential PSU issue, verify it using another working PSU—no boot observed. Regarding your iGPU setup, you might be able to start up with just one stick of RAM and no dedicated GPU or storage, as long as the motherboard's BIOS is intact. If the board has a corrupted BIOS, refer to steps on page 69, section 1.11.3 in your manual; you can find it here: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...nu...?model=ROG STRIX H370-F GAMING.
Sure, can you clarify what you mean? Should I remove the CPU and attempt to restart the PC?
