I haven’t played any major titles on my PC recently and just installed ac Valhalla a few months ago. When I tried to load the game, I suddenly got a blue screen. I didn’t have time to check the code, but it shut down and kept restarting.
I unplugged it and let it sit for a while; when I tried to turn it back on, it wouldn’t post. Fans and LEDs were working except for my motherboard.
I searched online for similar issues and found various information. Someone suggested it might be related to the PSU, so I checked my RM750x and the fan wasn’t spinning. However, others have reported the same problem with their systems.
Since I don’t have spare parts nearby, I thought about posting here before buying a new PSU, Mobo, or something else.
I can share specs later.

Take the power cable out from there, press the power button several times, then reset the CMOS and stay quiet for half an hour. Then reset it again just to be sure. Plug the power back in, make a gesture with your finger, hit the power button with the side of the case off, check for any flashing LEDs, and listen for any fans moving slightly (a twitch). Good luck.

My PC frequently crashes with BSODs and then restarts completely, but when I switch the power supply off and back on, it starts normally.

I disassembled it, rebuilt it, and it worked for a while. Recently, after coming home from work, I tried to turn it on again, but it stopped posting. I’m not sure if there’s a software problem, but I’m feeling quite upset.

After doing this twice before, I replaced my RAM and it’s now functioning properly. Someone knows the reason.

Hi Jake,
getting more assistance would come from supplying complete system details as asked—there are skilled people involved, but I’m not sure psychic powers are available.

Is everything functioning correctly now? It might have been the RAM not being seated properly after cleaning, or there could be some dust or debris on the contacts that got shifted during re-seating. If it works fine now, you might want to run some checks.

The situation is being handled well for some time, yet now it experiences unpredictable crashes without a blue screen. Occasionally it stops immediately after startup, and other times the display turns black unexpectedly. Suggested diagnostic steps are needed.
