Hey all, hoping to find some guidance on how to deal with a particular issue I've been facing. Here's a video of what's happening: https://imgur.com/F7oDU0T Basically my computer doesn't always boot properly. Sometimes it boots fine, sometimes it only reaches the "Press F2 or Del" post screen but stays there indefinitely. And sometimes this happens. Here's the hardware I'm using: Ryzen 3950x Asus B450 ITX Timetec 32gb 3200mhz ram Corsair SF600 GT710 GPU (just for testing) Custom water cooling loop How would I go about diagnosing where the issue is? Do I just send every component in for an RMA? Halp! Thanks!
I notice your system is using an older BIOS version (2901). Upgrading to the latest (3004) might resolve some issues. Running a power-hungry Ryzen 3950X on a B450 ITX board isn't ideal. Better options would be ASUS X570-I, ASUS Crosshair VIII Impact, AsRock X570 ITX/TB3, or Gigabyte X570 Arous ITX. These boards have higher current-rated VRMs and better cooling. The ASUS StriX B450-I supports up to 100A Core Current and isn't suitable for high-end builds beyond that.
Yesterday I'm experiencing the same complete issue. After updating the BIOS to the latest version 3004, nothing changed. I used an ASUS B450-E Gaming ATX Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) with 3200MHz Ryzen 5 3600 and water cooling (Deepcool Castle 240 EX) along with the ASUS RTX 2070 Super. Everything functioned perfectly until I tried to boot the system yesterday. Following the BIOS update, I disconnected the cable and removed the CMOS battery to reset everything. That didn't help either.
You mean the power cable connecting from the wall to the back of the PSU? Just make sure you disconnect the PSU from the wall and remove the CMOS battery. Updating the BIOS usually prompts you to verify your settings during the first boot, which is typical. But having it ask you to check every time you turn on the computer isn't normal. When you update the BIOS, it clears any saved data from the motherboard, similar to the flash reset in 'Men in Black'.
