The ASUS Prime A320M-K is failing to power on.
My setup includes: Mobo model ASUS Prime A320M-K, Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, GTX 970 GPU, Antec VP 700P PSU, HP EX920 SSD, and Windows 10 OS. This is the second instance my PC failed to boot. Each time it shut down properly but stopped working the following day. The motherboard display shows an orange light that pulses normally, yet a solid orange light prevents booting. I don’t see any instructions for this light in the manual. I’m unsure what I did before it worked again—replacing GPU, PSU, and removing other devices. Once it started, the system clock was incorrect, possibly due to a CMOS issue. I haven’t touched my RAM during these events. My attempts included using a different PSU, GPU, and briefly accessing CMOS. None resolved the problem. There are others with similar issues, but the motherboard might be damaged now. It’s been about six months since the last incident. Can you help narrow down the cause?
If it happened before, I just reached out and wanted to share my thoughts here, in case someone replies or discovers a solution.
