Unusual situation after wiping the drive.
Unusual situation after wiping the drive.
Hello! Around a month and a half ago I built my new gaming rig, and it’s worked perfectly fine for me. However, this is a troubleshooting forum. Basically, I wanted to learn more about Linux in general, so I decided to dualboot Windows with ZorinOS to see what it was like doing schoolwork on Linux. I wanted to switch distros to mint which I thought had better features, so I booted into Windows and just deleted my Linux partitions. Big mistake. I later realized that you can’t just do that and have to do some other stuff to remove it, so I thought “Well, I have my games backed up, I might as well just wipe my drive to fix the issues”. I didn’t really want to get deep into the way that I could fix it since it seemed pretty advanced and it seemed quicker to just reset windows. I hit the option to wipe the drive when resetting windows, but when it restarted nothing happened. My PC just sat with a blank screen, and since then I haven’t gotten an output. The logical choice was to remove the drive and clear CMOS, but I still haven’t gotten a post. All the fans come on, my RGB comes on, but nothing. It sits on error code for ram and never gets past that, so I tried one stick, moving them around, nothing. None of my peripherals light up either, even though there normally do. (Sorry for the wall of text) Here’s how it goes when I press the power button: Lights come on, fans turn on, ram lights up. Then, my ram leds turn on then off, then nothing. I know my ram is recognized however as if I turn it on without any installed, my motherboard and case lights do not come on. Specs- CPU: Ryzen 5 7600 GPU: PowerColor Red Devil 6900 xt RAM: Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 6000 CL40 Drive (removed): WD Black SN770 1tb Power Supply: Corsair RM850x (2021 model) Motherboard: B650 Aorus Pro AX Case: Fractal torrent compact (stock fans only) This is some weird behavior I have never seen, is it possible somehow my memory got corrupted?
Please confirm if you've included all the necessary information.
CMOS already confirmed as mentioned earlier, but I'll attempt to update the BIOS next.
