Question Very Odd PC Booting Issue
Hello, I've experienced some problems with my desktop recently. Here are the details of my system:
Processor: Intel Core i5 14400F, 6 P-Core, 4 E-Core, 16-Thread
Graphics Card: MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Super Ventus 2X
Motherboard: Gigabyte B760M-C
Memory: TeamGroup Delta RGB 32GB DDR5 6000MHz (2x16GB)
Storage: Kingston 1TB NVMe SSD
Power Supply: ABS 750W 80+ Gold
My device functioned normally until I noticed the RAM lights displaying incorrect colors. I attempted to fix it using the motherboard's RGBFusion utility, but it didn't resolve the issue. Then I tried Gigabyte Control Center, unaware it could cause complications, and it also failed.
I checked for available updates and restarted my computer, which led to a boot failure detection screen. After resetting the BIOS to default and restarting again, everything worked until the following day.
Now my system is stuck in an automatic repair loop, freezing after a few restarts. It also refuses to enter recovery mode. I've tried pressing F keys and shutting it down three times upon startup, but this didn't help.
I attempted to reinstall Windows 11 using a USB drive, a media creation tool, and Rufus. The process froze at the logo screen. I ensured the boot order was set correctly, switched the SSD in/out, and changed the BIOS version. I also tried disabling XMS and turning it back on.
Despite these efforts, I'm uncertain about the next steps. My SSD appears to be damaged, or perhaps both RAM sticks were affected simultaneously. The BIOS reports a total RAM of approximately 278,578 MB, but only one stick is recognized. I've reset the CMOS and switched the sticks around, yet the LEDs still function.
I'm unsure whether my SSD is corrupted or if both RAM sticks were damaged at once. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Hardware issues can't be resolved with software alone. First, verify the memory condition. The warning indicator appears due to Windows.
