    Question Brand new PC (except PSU & GPU) shuts itself down after rejecting fTPM reset then refuses to power on

    Solution: I tested my PSU with a testing unit and it turned out to be malfunctional. I bought a 850W PSU and everything stays on after getting through the ftpm page! Although I'm still unsure why it shows the ftpm every time I boot it, I figured that it wasn't a hassle to click 1 key so I've...

    Question PC doesn't boot upon pressing power switch but flashes during PSU power on - Is it RAM, Mobo or PSU ?

    Update: Ended up buying a brand new B650 MB (Asus B650M-E Wifi) and managed to post! Sadly after a few days, it shut off suddenly and refused to post (no lights no LEDs no fans) again. Every component except GPU & PSU is new so I'm now suspecting the PSU.

    Question PC doesn't boot upon pressing power switch but flashes during PSU power on - Is it RAM, Mobo or PSU ?

    I see... so that's why it's not recommended. Thanks for explaining, I'll keep that in mind I didn't run MemTest86 after turning on EXPO profile 1. I thought the RAM would be stable bc I have a memory of reading somewhere that switching on default expo profiles would increase the RAM speeds to...

    Question PC doesn't boot upon pressing power switch but flashes during PSU power on - Is it RAM, Mobo or PSU ?

    It appears from dozens of YT vids and hundreds of comments/upvotes that rubbing the RAM plates helped users boot immediately after, so I tried it. Thanks for the insight though, I won't rub them again of course. 0 response from mobo means nothing happens audibly & visually upon powering on the...

    Antec EAG 650W PRO Modular (Mobo, cpu & gpu power cords are attached to psu) I installed the 2 extra SATA drives (1 HDD 1 SSD) with 1 accessory drive power connector (so 1 connector for both drives) that can be added onto the back of the PSU). I searched 2 wattage calculators sites & both told...
