The system struggles to start, causing fans to spin but no response.
It could be a CPU issue. Were there any other storage capacities you checked during the troubleshooting?
I utilized the same motherboard (ASRock b450m pro4) as a reference for my project and to diagnose, I will carefully re-examine my CPU.
When I power up my PC, the fans run for about 20 to 25 seconds without any video display, then they stop briefly before restarting the cycle. This pattern has been consistent. System details: CPU is a Ryzen 5 2600, GPU is an RTX 2060, motherboard ASRock B250 M. Pro4, RAM is 16 GB dual-channel. I've tested various configurations—changing the RAM slots, ensuring all connections are secure, using a known working stick, and even resetting CMOS before the issue started. The error code 0xe0434352 appeared during shutdown, and after rebooting, only 8 GB of RAM was visible. It seems the system is struggling with memory detection or communication. Any advice would be helpful.
