Hello. Recently, while playing a game, my PC stopped working entirely. It seemed to cut off power instantly, yet other devices remained connected through the surge protector. Now I often find my PC won’t start after being off for several hours. I notice the power indicator is on and fans are running at increased speeds, possibly at full capacity. Initially, I considered a possible BIOS issue due to the higher fan rates, but I can’t see anything on my screen. The memory seems doubtful since this machine is only three years old and I’m using EVGA RAM. I also moved Windows and some files to an NVMe SSD about a month ago, but I’m unsure if that affected the problem. If anyone has suggestions or solutions, it would be really helpful.

Remove the RAM and reinsert it into the corresponding slot (especially if you have dual channels). This often resolves issues where the PC doesn’t boot, and swapping the RAM is the initial step I’d attempt.

I’ll definitely clarify that. Thanks for the response.
