I have had motherboard ram and dimm slot issues ever since I’ve had it. I’m buying a new one as I’m sure that is the problem.

Now it won’t turn on again. It turned on and I turned it off twice and now it won’t turn on at all.

This ended up working, however I am unsure why it worked and what to do next. There is a red light next to DDR4 on the motherboard after turning my PC on.

Thanks, I will try this when I get home

It is an msi z390 gaming plus, bought it brand new in July 2020. The power supply is a silver Corsair 750w.

No it was off all day and I tried to turn it on getting home. Nothing wrong with the caps. I tried many things and I’m fairly sure it’s either a dead CMOS battery or some motherboard malfunction. The power supply could still be a possibility, not sure how to check.

I have had my PC for almost 2 years, nothing ever went mechanically wrong. After getting home, I pressed the power button, and nothing. No lights or movement of fans, or even sounds. I checked my power supply with a paper clip on the 24 pin cord and it works, the pc powered on with lights and...

I think I may have found the solution. I use and SSD and an HDD. There is an option in windows power settings that I didn't see that puts the hard drive to sleep after a period of inactivity. it was at 15 minutes. No crash yet. Was this all? Edit: Nevermind, this did not fix it. I have no idea...

I have one critical event in Reliability that states "Windows was not shut down properly". Other than that I double checked cords and cleaned out dust. I also updated BIOS, uninstalled any programs that I downloaded soon before the issue, and I don't know if it would affect it or not, but I...

Hello, I recently began having an issue where my monitor would not detect a signal, and I would have to restart my PC. I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, and the AMD Radeon Software. I checked my windows power settings, and everything is set to never. I changed the cable that I plug into my...

Just wanted to know if overclocking is worth it, or dangerous regarding my setup. I have an Intel i5-9600KF that runs at 4.3ghz without OC. I overclocked it to 4.8ghz with a voltage of 1.28. I could overclock it to 5ghz but that recommends a voltage of 1.4, which I think may be too high. It runs...

Sorry about my confusing wording. I am currently playing a game, and the AMD software as well as task manager say that my GPU is being utilized. There are no issues with my monitor or the game, everything is plugged in and working normally. But my BIOS does not show anything about a graphics or...

It has been connected for months now.

I have an MSI MPG Z390 GAMING PLUS motherboard installed into my computer that I have had for about half a year, and I have been using it daily for gaming. However, I just now noticed that my system BIOS does not read a GPU being connected or utilized. I went in to change a setting with my VRAM...
