PC power cuts off. Memory RGB remains active.
About a year ago my computer would shut down during intense gaming sessions, with no fan activity and no error messages appearing. The blue screen of death never showed up, and the event viewer remained empty. Despite this, the RAM lights stayed on, almost as if it was in sleep mode. I had to repeatedly turn off and on the power supply unit to get it to work again. Eventually, the problem stopped after a short period. About a month later it started recurring again. I conducted several tests using OCCT, and my system would perform exactly as described during a combined VRAM and 3D-Standart test. This led me to suspect a GPU issue, so I replaced it two weeks ago. It functioned properly for a week before the problem returned. I re-applied thermal paste, re-seated the RAM and CPU, reset the CMOS, and ran tests for an extended time, but still couldn’t reproduce the issue. The problem continued randomly until one morning my PC completely refused to boot. It briefly turned on before shutting down again. All indicators stayed active, including the RGB lights on the RAM. I also tried booting without the GPU or RAM, and everything worked perfectly. I’ve come across this exact situation online multiple times—some suggested it was a GPU problem, others pointed to the PSU.
No, I don't have any more GPUs.
I'll try using separate cables, thank you!
