Initially, I didn’t plan to overclock anything; my understanding of computers and this topic was quite limited. In January, my computer stopped working while I was playing games, and after turning it back on, it displayed a reset message. The instructions suggested various steps to restore settings or load default configurations. I repeated the process in the game, but this time it didn’t power up again. Through some research, I suspected the power supply unit might have failed, so I replaced it, but that didn’t solve the issue. I brought it to a repair shop, which informed me that one of my 8GB RAM modules was damaged and needed replacement. Once fixed, I tried playing games again, then waited 15-20 minutes before turning it on, and the same message appeared. It seems this problem only occurs after the first power cycle. After restarting, the computer works normally until then. I’ve already changed the BIOS setting to reset values, but the message persists.

Instead of simply returning to default settings in your BIOS, consider reviewing all the overclock-related configurations to check for any activated options. It’s possible that default values are linked with certain overclocking parameters. Please verify if you’re correct.

Also, have you attempted troubleshooting the hardware components, such as the CPU and GPU?

I've just changed the drivers. I'm not confident handling the internal components since I'm not sure what to do. Haha...
