Hello Everyone, I'm facing some issues with my PC. It shuts down suddenly without any clear reason, going completely black with all fans off and no display. When I try to restart, it doesn't boot properly—only the fans and lights turn on briefly before shutting down again. The diagnostic LED flashes orange, red, or white, and the system restarts. I can't access the Event System Logs; they get cleared every time I restart. It might be overheating, but then it would just boot again, wouldn't it? For reference, I'm using this OS: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wDQQRv

I would begin by checking the most recent BIOS updates for the motherboard. If you're using DOCP or XMP, consider disabling it and verifying functionality. The requirement to remove power before booting seems unusual—perhaps testing with a single RAM module could help.
