Your machine lights up and makes clicking noises when you press the power button. This has been happening for about three months. Sometimes pressing it again works, though it might take a few tries. It turned on properly once the graphics card wasn’t connected. Windows 11 freezes after startup sometimes, getting stuck in automatic repair or showing a black screen. You tried resetting BIOS and changing RAM, but nothing has helped so far. The ID you provided is 76992346153__511E0151-7F2D-4540-8DC7-8AC6689BA289.MOV.

Have you attempted removing the power button plug and using a screwdriver to jump the pins? The button could be causing a short. Edit: Your motherboard might have an integrated power button, so once the front one is disconnected there are no specifications to confirm. It could be the PSU. Do you have a tester? Would a friend with experience help? A spare PSU could be connected externally. Personally, I’d disconnect everything except the motherboard—CPU plug, 24-pin connector, and pump—and remove the GPU and fairy lights before trying again. If that works, plug the GPU back in, connect power, and troubleshoot from there. There are many components involved, so it will look like a tangled mess behind the case.

Apologies for the delayed response! This method helped me. Just unplug everything and try one thing at a time—it ended up damaging my hard drive. It caused startup issues and contributed to Windows corruption. I reinstalled Windows twice before resolving the problem, so thank you!

Great, I'm here to assist. Hope you're doing well. Marking it as solved at the bottom should be clear—no one else should try to change it. Good luck!
