Turns out it was the CPU, swapped it out with a new one, that fixed the problem. I tried the old one again and it gave the same issue.

Alright this ain't looking good. I unplugged every sata connection and took out the m.2, and left only my sata SSD drive in (which has never had windows installed). I checked the bios and it showed up just fine, plugged in my boot thumb drive and tried to boot to it and it's giving me the same...

To my knowledge there isn't anything important on the sata drive, just games that can be reinstalled. The m.2 doesn't really have much important stuff on it, just would be annoying to have to set everything back up. I'll try this and see how it goes and let you know the results

The optical drive was empty when I shut it off, and the boot priority had the m.2 as the primary drive, then the hdd that I used to have windows on, but i uninstalled it and those were the only options unless i had my windows thumb drive in. I have an old sata SSD that I have some games on...

So I just got this system working after about 5 months of headaches, I'll leave the links to the old threads below. Long story short, it was a bad DP cable. But finally I got the system to work and it was working perfectly fine up until today. Just for context, even though I don't suspect it...

Alright, this 5 month long technological torture session is over, and the solution was the stupidest thing ever. I brought my PC to my gfs house to test it out on her outlets, and when I plugged it in, it kept giving me the same issue as always. Then the only variable left was the monitor, and...

Alright so I took it to the guy, and I just had him build the whole thing, and he got it to boot to bios 100% of the time, and left it on overnight. So I took it home and tried it again just now and same exact problem. I think I know what's going on though. I had a suspicion that it might be...

just got a new board from rma. same problem happening, im gonna try to take it to the initial guy that had it working. im really at a loss man, this is gnawing at me lmao.

Don't companies usually have safeguards when it comes to rma? Like they send you hardware that has actually been tested and known to work?

alright, got the new psu finally, tried it out about an hour ago and same issue. I'm going to call the repair guy and see if i can just bring my stuff over, and have him watch me put it all together and see if any of this is user error. my only other guess would be that when i returned either...

Gotcha, then I'll be sure to get this psu swapped out, I'll update you when I get the replacement

Hmm, the only problem is I don't know if Amazon will exchange it when it's been 4 months since I bought it. I know I multimeter tested it and the guy tested it with whatever device he's got. But that is one of the only parts I haven't replaced so I'll see what I can do, but is there anything...

Alright so I tried what you said. I took all my parts out of their boxes, set it all up, and first time I start it up, it works. I sit in bios and exit the bios a good 5-10 times, and I let it sit for like 10 mins minimum. I then powered it off, and let it sit for around 8 minutes. I powered it...

This is a continuation of another thread about the same subject that's gotten to be nearly 4 months old. I took a pretty long break from this project due to how much it was frustrating me, but recently I took it to a professional, and thought that I had the problem solved on two separate...

I took my mobo, CPU, psu, to the shop. The main reason I didn't bring my GPU and ram was because they are working completely fine in my current PC so I assumed they weren't the problem, and I didn't want to be without a system for a day or two, which in hindsight, wasn't a great idea. I'm...
