The PC remains inactive until you replace the CPU.
Hey, I've faced this same challenge for a while now. Sometimes it takes weeks without happening, then suddenly it occurs every day. It used to happen when I put the PC into sleep mode, but I disabled that setting. The main issue is my computer won't power on despite the motherboard light being on. Other fixes like removing the cooler or shaking it don’t help much. The system works perfectly otherwise. This problem started after I replaced the motherboard and CPU last year—even after a few weeks of use, I swapped the board again and tried a different PSU.
The board: Asus Rog Strix B550-F Gaming
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5900X
GPU: 1080Ti
Power Supply: Custom liquid cooling build with EKWB Supremacy MX CPU block
It seems the problem might be on the board—possibly the CPU or cooler getting misaligned. The waterblock could have warped or twisted the CPU out of place. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!
It might be due to insufficient pressure, though a loose CPU shouldn't be easily removed.
It seems like you're considering a few options for fixing the issue. You're thinking about adjusting the setup to help with stability, but it looks like your mounting pressure might be adequate. Also, you're wondering if the CPU is still covered under warranty.
The CPU still has over a year of warranty coverage, possibly indicating an issue with the CPU itself. It seems the problem started about two weeks after installing the new CPU/MBOB, even though the motherboard was replaced. This is quite unusual, and it's difficult to return it under warranty since the CPU appears to be functioning normally now.
I believe requiring frequent CPU reseating is not typical for normal operation.
It seems like you're being quite detailed about your preferences. While a server setup works well enough, you might prefer to return it and temporarily stop using your main computer.
