Machine keeps looping, I disconnected all components except the one that’s still having issues, but it doesn’t stop. I checked troubleshooting steps—only power cables for the CPU worked, nothing else. Any advice? PSU model: Gigabyte P750GM PXL_20230523_001213540.TS.mp4

Have you attempted to reset the CMOS? Here are some instructions: Power down your device and disconnect it from the power source. Lift the cover and find the CMOS cell on the motherboard. Take the cell out from its holder and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Put the cell back in and secure the case. Connect your computer and switch it on.

It functions similarly in every low-power mode (Sleep, S3, Hibernate, ShutDown, Even PSU off/on). I also attempted to disconnect all SATA devices.

Consider these steps: 1. Cut off all power sources, reset the system, and disconnect the HDD from the motherboard. Use a screwdriver to short the power pins. This eliminates issues with faulty power switches or connectors. 2. Remove the RAM module and attempt to power it on; you should see an error message. 3. If nothing works, unplug all SATA connections and test again. 4. Take the board out of the case and try again with just the CPU connected. 5. If no error appears, the CPU, motherboard, or PSU may be faulty. For further diagnosis, swap components or bring it to a repair shop.

I've been working on fixing issues in various projects while trying to figure out the main power source for the motherboard, which is mainly the 8P+4P CPU header and the 24-pin MB header. It seems the only way to stop the system from looping is to remove any internal memory. Even after updating the BIOS on the motherboard, the problem persists.

Without RAM you trigger a RAM error? Do you have another stick available?

Resolved the problem and proceeded to Best Buy to purchase a Corsair RM 850. I considered upgrading to an i7 13700K. The main concern was the power supply, which kept tripping due to overcurrent protection. I went through the warranty process with Gigabyte. I’m hoping it works out well. I’ll never buy any Gigabyte power supplies again, particularly the P series. It seems the units were prone to exploding, and I wasn’t aware of that during purchase. Checked reviews about Gamers Nexus P750 and P850 power supplies blowing up—please warn others before buying one.
