Screen on computer shuts down once bios display is shown.
Hello. My PC has these specifications: an Intel i7-7700 CPU, 8GB RAM at 2133MHz, ATX-800W power supply, Z170 motherboard, and a 480 MHz BIOS. When I power it on, the BIOS loads and I can even edit it, but after saving the changes the screen disappears and the machine shuts down abruptly. I haven’t heard of anyone else experiencing this issue, am I facing something unusual? The LED indicators are functioning normally, the system stays cool, and it behaves as expected otherwise.
It mentions goldenfield atx 800w with 80 plus gold. Probably not exactly 80 plus gold, but that’s the model name.
Goldenfield isn’t recognized for their PSU performance, particularly in high-power categories. It seems the system was likely compromised early on. I believe the minimal posting in the GPU bios indicates a low-power setup. Anything more than that probably triggered a hardware fault or caused excessive power draw, overloading the PSU.
Also consider the following details:
- Motherboard model GA-Z170X-Gaming
- 2x 4GB RAM at 2133 MHz, functioning well after three years (tested)
- ATX-800 Goldenfield power supply
- GPU XFX Rx480 with 8GB memory
- CPU i7-7700, fully operational and tested
It seems the power supply unit might be defective. Would you like guidance on replacing it?
