The computer remains inactive without using a hair dryer for warmth.
Hardware details: CPU Ryzen 5 5600, GPU Sapphire RX 580 8GB, Motherboard Gigabyte B450M S2H, RAM XPG GAMMIX D35 8GB (1x8GB) at 3200MHz, PSU Aerocool LUX 550W (80 PLUS Bronze), Case MSI MAG FORGE M100A.
Notes: No overclocking or voltage changes were made. XMP profile used.
Issue observed: PC won’t power on after shutdown, even though it stays on in sleep mode overnight. No visual signs of damage, but RGB lights stay on and fans don’t spin. After briefly heating components with a hair dryer, system boots normally. If turned off for long periods, it resets. In my humid environment I’ve seen similar problems with other PCs, but none had this exact behavior.
It’s unclear how you arrived at that idea—it could have some technical flaws. Warming it likely helps the components connect properly by allowing them to expand. To make it work long-term, you’d probably need to re-solder the joint. My thought is it might have a weak point somewhere.
It’s quite amusing... my friend assumed the problem was just dust, even though there wasn’t any visible dust in my PC. He suggested using a hair dryer to blow it out. I tried that for three days... until I understood it had nothing to do with dust—just needed to warm up the PC to get it running again. Lol
To stop a PC from powering up, significant dust accumulation is likely involved. It should also be conductive and create a short circuit for something critical. My prediction points toward a cold solder joint. If you locate it, you’ll probably have the right soldering iron and steady hands to resolve the issue.
It doesn’t really change much if you just turn on the case and run the hair dryer across the parts. Still, occasionally the device won’t power up unless you also open the back panel and let air in.
Hibernation is already disabled, and my BIOS is up to date. I also replaced the CMOS battery, thinking it might be causing the booting issues. The capacitors look fine, though I’m not a professional, so I can’t say for sure. Today, I tried something different I only heated the back of the motherboard in the specific spot shown in the picture, and it worked
