Strange and unsolvable problems with your computer.
Strange and unsolvable problems with your computer.
About three months back I attempted to activate TPM and Secure Boot on my built PC (details below). It didn’t display the ASUS loading screen and instead launched Windows. When I went into BIOS via advanced startup, it performed the same action. After several restarts, my computer stopped connecting to the monitor. I checked monitors, cables, and ports but the display still wouldn’t recognize me, though the system remained operational. Eventually, I brought it to a repair shop where it worked immediately once connected. I returned home and it functioned properly with the monitor. For a few months afterward, I re-entered BIOS and noticed TPM was active, but Secure Boot was set to Custom OS and Legacy Mode—possibly due to cloning my older 2017 gaming PC’s boot drive onto a new M.2 SSD. I switched back to UEFI and Standard mode, saved the settings, and then faced another problem. My PC wouldn’t power on under any condition, so I took it elsewhere for diagnostics. It started working randomly after they ran tests, but the diagnostics revealed nothing. Later, when I turned it on with the front panel removed, it began functioning, reminding me that the original issue might have been resolved then too. I suspected a power supply problem, though the multimeter confirmed it was fine. There’s a chance the magnets on the Corsair 4000X front panel could be interfering, but I’m not sure. This case has poor ventilation and is hard to install. Anyone have other ideas? Let me know so I can fix this before it happens again.
I encountered a problem accessing my BIOS, but I can't recall the exact reason. Jumping the CMOS pin with a flathead worked to fix it.
The system launched and lets you access BIOS directly, bypassing the need to use CMOS.
Check the most recent BIOS updates. Latest GPU firmware info available here: https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/G...l-firmware. Does XMP support work similarly? That platform doesn’t handle 3600 well.
