Continuing from the last update^ I'm still new to technology and PCs, and I'm not sure about the difference between threads and posts. Please hope this reaches someone who can assist me. For details: My computer doesn't show a POST when starting, but it powers on normally with fans and RGB lights on. When I force shut it off and restart, it boots instantly. If I hard reset the PC and then turn it on, it works perfectly. The motherboard LEDs stop at DRAM after the first boot, but after a hard reset it goes through all lights and boots normally. I've attached a video for reference. I've gone through the instructions in the post above, but nothing seems to help. I've tried many fixes—plugging in GPU and RAM, adjusting BIOS settings, changing UEFI, enabling X.M.P., setting POST delay, modifying display options, updating BIOS, and even swapping components—but nothing resolved the issue. The power supply is non-modular, so I can't inspect connections easily. I don’t have any diagnostic tools to check wires directly. All components seem fine, and the monitor and DP cable work on another PC, so it’s likely not a hardware fault. My specs are: GPU 3070 RTX, CPU i5 10400F, B460M-Plus board, 16GB RAM (DDR4), Kingston Fury Beast. PSU is a non-modular 650W model. BIOS version is 20/11/2024, SMBIOS 3.2. It would be great if someone could clarify what’s going on! Thank you for your help. If you have any more details, please share—I’m not very confident yet, but it’s frustrating.
