Hi...
I have an Aorus Master x570 1.1, a Ryzen 5800x and an Asus Dual RTX 2070S. While using VR, my PC shut down unexpectedly. I removed the CMOS battery and graphics card for 10 minutes, then reinserted them, but the fans kept spinning even though only the CPU fan should have been active. Still no video output.
I've had this setup for about 4 to 5 years, needing only a few restarts weekly. I originally used an Apple system, but I don't like their prices... lol... Thanks for your help, I hope it helps.
I'm using a seasonic platinum tx 850... I don't have another system, unfortunately... I have another PSU of the same type but only one set of cables... Thanks. I'm not sure. Should I try a new CMOS battery or is there a way to install a new BIOS on the board if I have no video? Sorry if these are stupid questions? This was the only system I ever built and it took me over 8 hours! I had it open because the case was too small for me to modify. It was working fine until a few days ago.
the PSU is fully modular, so simply remove the existing one, install the new one, and reconnect the same power outlets. Make sure it's the exact same model, otherwise incorrect cables might damage your system.
cmos battery isn't likely the issue; these components usually last 5 to 10 years without problems. You can test it if you wish.
the motherboard is probably not the cause, but you might attempt to update the BIOS via the USB BIOS Flashback function on your board.
You could also try unplugging your hard drives and entering BIOS settings.
Hi... there are a few points I believe could be relevant. Sometimes I shut off the computer by pressing the red power button on the board. This rarely happens, but I tried it without success. Also, I don't recall the mb fan ever turning on. If this is important, please let me know if I should change my approach. I'll follow up today and tonight to make sure everything is correct. I just want to be thorough.
This approach isn't very clever if it forces the computer to shut down abruptly, leaving Windows no chance to close properly. Although it could occasionally damage Windows, it shouldn't prevent the BIOS display from showing up on the screen.
A replacement CR2032 should cost less than a few dollars, and trying a fresh battery is harmless.
If you own a multimeter, adjust it to the 20V DC setting and examine the previous battery. New ones typically read around 3.25V, while older ones fall to about 3.00V after several years. After more time they might reach 2.75V, at which point I swap them out. They could keep going down to 2.00V, but it's better to change them before they fail completely.
When I run into boards that won't boot because of CR2032 issues, the system drops below 1.00V, which isn’t sufficient to save BIOS settings or boot options.
Does this suggest you have two Asus RTX 2070 graphics cards? If yes, remove one and test if the computer starts up with just one GPU. Place it in the nearest PCIe x16 slot connected to the CPU. If it doesn’t work, install the other GPU separately in the same slot and attempt again. You might be dealing with a faulty card.
On the other hand, you may have intended to refer to a dual-fan RTX 2070 setup, meaning a single GPU card.
In any case, try another GPU in your system—it doesn’t need to be high-end. Windows 11 might flag it as not meeting a minimum requirement, but even an older second-hand GT 730 from eBay should be sufficient to see something during startup.
