Hey there, friends. I've been dealing with this problem for about a month now. The fans spin up quickly, and the GPU and RAM lights come on, but when I try to start the PC, nothing happens and the screen stays blank. After resetting it, things work fine. I'm getting a bit concerned—could my motherboard be failing? In normal use there are no stability or heat problems; everything seems normal. I've updated to the latest BIOS version. Any suggestions or tips would be really appreciated.

EDIT: I just realized the first time this happened, after forcing a boot with reset, I saw the Windows 11 splash screen trying to push me to install it (it seemed Windows Update had downloaded something). I turned it down, cleared the update cache, and disabled TPM in BIOS to avoid it again. I'm not sure if that's related to the POST issue.

System specs: OS – Windows 10 Pro 64-bit CPU – Ryzen 5 3600 (stock) – idle 39°C, load 54°C; RAM – Corsair Vengeance Black RGB Pro 3600MHz 4x8GB (XMP default); GPU – Gainward RTX 3060Ti 8GB – idle 42°C, load 74-76°C; SSD – Kingston Fury Renegade 2TB + two SATA drives; PSU – Seasonic Focus GX-550; Ethernet – Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE PXE; CPU cooler – Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black; case – Kolink Observatory Lite Mesh RGB with three 120mm fans; display 1 – LG 27GL850 114Hz over DisplayPort; display 2 – AOC 2460x60Hz IPS over DisplayPort.**
