Hi! I’ve recently come into a issue with my computer not starting after months of using it fine. My specs are as follows
CPU - AMD - Ryzen 5 1600X 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler - CRYORIG - H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard - Asus - STRIX B350-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory(X2) - G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
Storage(SSD) - Samsung - 860 Evo 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage - Western Digital - Blue 2TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card - Asus - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB STRIX GAMING Video Card
Case - Fractal Design - Meshify C Dark TG ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply - Corsair - CXM 650W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Recently I upgraded my PC by buying a new 1080ti, SSD, and identical stick of ram. This worked with 0 issues for about 2 months until the other day, when I shut it down for the night, and the next day when I turned it on, it wouldn’t boot up. The GPU and motherboard light up, however the GPU stays at its default light settings instead of the one I set, and there is no input to the mouse, keyboard, or screen. There’s also a yellow light next to the ram and CPU which I read online is a type of “check engine light” so to speak for the ram? But I’m not certain on that.
What I’ve done to try to fix it
I’ve attempted to restart it countless times. I’ve dusted it, removed the ram and GPU and sprayed it with compressed air. I’ve taken both ram sticks out and placed them both individually in each of my four ram slots, and also took a ram stick from my brother to see if it would work as well. I’ve removed the CMOS battery and left it out for 20 minutes before placing in a new one, and removed and replugged the CPU power cable as well as the 24 pin that goes into my motherboard.
I’ve always been very careful with my computer. I try to avoid bringing any drinks or food around it, shut it down properly, and try to avoid shady websites or download things from sites I don’t know about. I’d be extremely surprised if I had a malware, although I don’t know if it’d cause this, but I gusss anything is possible. I recently started college and need this computer to work again, hopefully without doing a complete factory restore.
Thank you in advance.
