Problem: After pressing the power button, the fans briefly spin and a short beep is heard, followed by shutdown. [Technical details provided] First attempt was to reset the motherboard BIOS by removing the CMOS battery, but it didn’t help. Removing one RAM stick resolved the issue. Swapping RAM sticks confirmed the problem wasn’t in the slots. Thinking about dual-channel memory, I tried booting with both sticks and it worked. The system ran smoothly for a couple days before the problem returned. I repeated the steps—reset CMOS and swapped single RAM stick—and it functioned again. This time, after pressing power, the PC didn’t start at all. I’ve tried everything: BIOS reset, different RAM, another GPU, another PSU, re-seating the CPU, and even removed the RAM without a stick. Looking online, it seems motherboards often emit a beep when RAM isn’t installed. Current situation: fans spin briefly then shut down. Is there a solution? Unfortunately, I can’t return for an RMA in my area. PC Specifications: Intel i3 12100F, Gigabyte H610M-H DDR4 Lexar 2x8GB 3200MHz, DDR4 MSI Ventus X2 RTX 3060 12GB, Enermax Triathlor Eco 650W

Thank you for your message. It seems the system won't boot and the BIOS update didn't resolve the problem. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Q-flash is a method that allows you to update your system without needing to restart your computer. Your motherboard can handle this process even if it doesn’t require a boot-up.
