Hello everyone. I have a simple budget build with a new rog b550 PSU, an RTX 2060 Super, and M.2 storage. After updating the system and reinstalling Windows everything is functioning properly. When I put it to sleep after gaming, it no longer boots and all lights come on. The Q LEDs stay lit for VGA, which suggests a GPU problem. I’ve verified all connections, swapped the card back to my old GTX1650, changed the slots on the motherboard, checked the RAM, tried different RAM modules, but nothing changes. I’m thinking it might be a motherboard issue and would appreciate advice before purchasing another board. Any suggestions for testing further? Thanks!

If you're using an iGPU, I'd remove the graphics card and check if you can boot with just the MOBO. If successful, the issue might be related to your power supply. Also, could you tell me the power rating of that PSU?

My processor is a Ryzen 7 2700, which means I’m missing built-in graphics. The PSU is rated at 850 watts.

850W definitely covers everything here; it’s the only approach I can think of without needing a volt tester or checking each tiny area on the MOBO. I’ll reconsider that point. Also, verify the PSU as well. If it matches the same wattage change, it might be a bad PSU. Otherwise, bring the MOBO back and replace it—assuming you’re covered under warranty.

I will safely disconnect and reconnect everything, including the PSU side—perhaps switching to a different M.2 port.

It looks like you're planning to use the old PSU again. You mentioned getting the MOBO a few months ago and are now revisiting it, possibly hoping it's still functional. Your thanks for the feedback are appreciated.

It turned out I was handling the CPU. Just don’t rely on the lights—probably not safe. I was planning to buy a new graphics card but spotted a CPU on sale, so I decided to check it out.
