Problem with PC not turning on
Hi guys. The PC won't turn on without warning.
I5 12400
32gb corsair vengeance lpx 3200
Asus Rtx 3060 ti
gigabyte b660m ds3h ddr4
2 x crucial 480gb ssd
Msi mag A650BN
Since my last upgrade, I haven't faced any problems except once when all my USB devices stopped working. That was fixed after a few restarts.
The PC is used for hours daily and nightly by me and my family. I attempted to overclock the RAM to 3800 using the BIOS multiplier, but this halted the boot process. The only fix was removing the CMOS battery, which resolved the issue.
Functioned normally for about a week until now. No power to the board. I suspect the PSU might be the cause, or it could relate to the RAM overclock or CMOS battery. Thanks in advance.
There is no power available, it seems the PSU or the motherboard is completely nonfunctional and not supplying any electricity.
I've secured a backup power supply unit. I'll provide an update once I reach the computer.
Suspect list size is reduced.
Swap the bios bat...check.
Modify the psu...perform test.
Remove and replace the battery, or purchase a new one. I'll let you know later once I've tested the new PSU.
However, the cheaper options are available now. Ensure you use the cables provided with the new PSU instead of those from the previous PSU.
