Hi, I'm facing a problem with my PC. Just before last night, I installed some support software from Gigabyte and everything seems normal. The apps in question are 3D OSD, Auto Green, Easy Tune, RGB Fusion, System Information Viewer, and USB Blocker. Last night I was eager to open it but then the power button activated it. After a brief pause, it restarted itself before shutting down again. Once I waited a few seconds, powered it back on, and it shut down once more until I unplugged the power cable. I accessed BIOS with the delete key and everything functioned correctly.
I tried resetting it by disconnecting all components, opening the case, checking connections, and rebooting. It kept power cycling. When I removed the CMOS battery and reinserted it, the issue persisted. I then swapped in a different SSD and Windows 10, but nothing changed. Now I’m replacing my own SSD and removing the HDD. The system boots up but there’s no display, no logos, and the CPU/DRAM/VGA/BOOT LEDs keep flashing together with the power indicator.
The fan spins but the LED on my motherboard for CPU, DRAM, VGA, and boot stays lit simultaneously, and it clicks when the power light turns on. This is really frustrating—I can’t focus on work. It’s been about two weeks since I started using it, and now it’s only stable after a few reboots. Could you help me figure out what’s going on? Thanks.
Typically people mention that if everything seemed fine and you did something or installed software, then things started to fail. It's possible the issue was with the most recent change. If you removed the new SSD and installed an older one, everything worked again. I suggest wiping the new SSD and reinstalling Windows, then testing without installing those apps this time. Power cycling might be a common sign of a problem, but I'm not sure what to look for. Have you checked online for power cycling issues? I'm not an expert, just trying to assist.
It took roughly five minutes or longer. Apologies for the wording. I believed the SSD connected to this machine wouldn't start Windows properly, so I transferred it to another functioning PC. I'm hoping it will work here, but unfortunately it didn't boot up.
I think the SSD hardware itself is okay. The issue likely lies with something else on the device. I’d probably erase the drive and begin fresh, as suggested before. This approach could be seen as a free option.
You can attempt to flash the BIOS on your board using alternative methods such as USB programming or manufacturer-specific tools, even if it isn't reachable via UEFI.
Set up the PC as it was during the CMOS cleanup process. Disconnect the battery for 10 minutes, then reset the CMOS pins by jumping them for 10 seconds. After returning online, boot into safe mode, uninstall Easy Tune, and attempt to post again. Restart Windows normally.
Corrupted BIOS update issue. Contacted the store about my PC parts; they suggested using a Mobo instead. With the 3-year warranty from Gigabyte, I sent it back. They performed a BIOS flash and returned it last Saturday. After reassembly, everything functions properly. Thanks to everyone who helped with my query.
