Shuts down the system automatically
On z490 motherboard, select lower GPU slot 3.0 for optimal performance.
You’re pointing out that testing things randomly might be the best approach. I’ve seen it fail in BIOS too, but so far only the USB receiver worked. It could get worse if more devices are connected.
In short, yes – that's the standard approach. Just disconnect all external and internal components not vital for starting and running the system. This includes SATA and optical drives, USB devices, or anything connected via power. Testing one at a time isn't necessary; unplug everything simultaneously and see if the issue persists. If it does, the problem likely lies with a key part. If not, check other devices or components. Once the machine starts working normally, plug things back in until it crashes again. It's a bit tedious but follows the proper method. I'm here to help, just let me know how it goes.
