The computer activates intermittently.
You're experiencing intermittent startup issues where the PC only powers on and then leads to a setup error. The IT shop suggested a BIOS fault but the problem resurfaces after reinstalling Windows or changing hardware. Despite fresh installs, updating cables, and replacing the CMOS battery, the issue persists when the system shuts down. It seems the underlying cause might be related to power delivery or firmware inconsistencies. You may want to check the power supply stability, test with a different USB port, or consult advanced BIOS settings for further troubleshooting.
