I bought a PSU tester, and confirmed that the PSU is in fact faulty.

Thank you for time in taking a look at this post, and for giving some advice on the issue. I came up with RTC from looking into what 4 beeps could mean. This motherboard was made around 2012, so that eliminates the possibiltiy of it being a Real Time Clock issue.

I was able to get it to POST once this morning. The steps leading up to this: -clear cmos (remove battery, move jumper, hold power button to dissipate capacitors 15-20 second) -boot with no ram installed, constant beeping, no post -boot with ram in dimm 1 and 3 no post, no beep -boot with ram...

I didn’t see anything initially, but I will take a better look. I can’t see any evidence of damage, (arcs or puffed capacitors)

I worked on this pc several months ago, where I replaced the cpu cooler and thermal paste application, cleaned and dusted thoroughly, and moved the components into a new case. Before that it was somewhat dusty, this time it was not. I appreciate your help, I am willing to work on my friend‘s pc...

Power on, cpu cooler and gpu fans spin. No debug beeps, unless I remove both ram sticks, in which case I get a continuous beep. Screen displays nothing, no signal, monitor doesn’t react in any way. I have tried all the outputs from the gpu on a couple different monitors. The usb peripherals do...

Correct. I have tried with the ram in in each combination, 1 or 2 sticks. Drive connected and not. To keep it simple I am now troubleshooting as you say, CPU, GPU, and 1 stick of RAM.

I replaced the battery and did not have any success.

That is the exact motherboard. Replacing the battery is certainly worth a try. Thank you.

It wasn’t hard to change the boot order and have the windows installation media start up initially. I haven’t been trying to boot from any drive currently. I’m simply trying to get it to POST at this point.

Ok, thank you. Good to know, P indicates no integrated graphics. So, I could be dealing with multiple issues, as I can’t get a post with the drive connected or not.

I’m trying to fix troubleshoot a pc for my friend. The system had not been used for weeks/months, and on the first boot up after the period of not being used the pc would not boot into windows and showed a blue recovery screen. ‘The Boot Configuration Data file doesn’t contain valid information...

If you are going to stick with the 1440p 60hz monitor, both gpus are capable, your monitor will be the bottleneck in most games for now. I imagine the 5700 will be capable at 1440p 60hz for a little while longer. With $100 difference, you would have to consider that the 5700 will get you an...

Pretty happy with it, I was able to run it at 4ghz @ 1.3125v for 8hrs on realbench, it peaked at 71c. I had some trouble with the test at first, but realised pretty quickly that it was my gpu oc that was causing the instability, so I shut off afterburner, wiped the drivers with ddu, reinstalled...

So I gave the hyper 212 evo a try since it was already on the way, and it lowered my temps in the cinebench R20 test by an average of 24c. I was able to get it to 4.0ghz at 1.3125v, and top out at about 61c after a 30 min run of the Asus Realbench stress test. I’m planning on going for 8hrs...
