update: all good! well, sort of. my brother had a spare z390 motherboard he let me borrow. With all the same components on his motherboard, the machine posted normally with no issues, and the CPU and all 4 sticks of RAM are detected properly. so it was my mobo that's no good, will RMA it. Thanks...

update: tried booting with minimum components (cpu, psu, ram, cpu cooler) only on a test bench; same problem. Machine powers on, 30 seconds later it restarts, then stays on, but we never get any output to the monitor. also confirmed via bios sticker that the bios version is 4.20; the p0/r0...

Hi, no bent pins. And yep we cleared CMOS and tested with one stick in each slot, A2 first.

I've seen reports that one potential issue is the question of whether or not my processor has P0 or R0 stepping, which is apparently impossible to determine by looking at the CPU or packaging itself (at least not anywhere I can see). If this is the problem, I'm not sure what to do... the only...

Hi all, I'm trying to troubleshoot a new build that won't post; never had an issue like this before. The system won't post, can't get anything to come up on screen at all, whether the monitor is plugged into the GPU or the motherboard. No beep codes to go by as this mobo doesn't have an...

Alright, thanks. I'll keep an eye out and hopefully it won't happen again

For reference, this isn't my video but this is pretty much exactly what's happening to me: View: https://youtu.be/TUq7KB3KS1s

Someone recommended changing thermal paste on the GPU so I'll give that a shot later, not sure what else to try outside of replacing psu

Hi, I have tried disabling my built-in wi-fi and instead using a usb wifi dongle (the one I used with my previous build and had no problems with) and the issue still occurs. I will note that in the weeks since I built my computer this happens less and less: it used to be several times a day and...

Hi all, apologies in advance for the long post, but I'm dealing with probably the weirdest issue I've run into in all my computer-fixin' days and could really use an assist. My brother is having an issue with his desktop I've been trying to troubleshoot for him to now avail. He's been using his...

Just windows defender

Computer date and time are correct. It affects other browsers than chrome, and also makes it so the steam store doesn't load. However as I said, an ongoing voice call like in discord isn't interrupted. very weird

No malware, and i have the same problems in safe mode. Again it only happens once an hour or so, but sometimes more often, and disconnecting/reconnecting to wi-fi fixes it. It also only stops me from browsing, if it happens while i'm in a multiplayer game or on a discord call it does not...

Several; I have 2 roommates, so there's my computer, their computers, all 3 phones, and a smart TV. However this was all the case before my new computer and I never had issues then. I also have these issues even when alone at the apartment

Sorry to bump this, just trying to see if anyone has any ideas. i've spent hours on google trying to sort this out and haven't found anything
