PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I HAVE POSTED IN THE WRONG TOPIC, I THINK IM IN THE RIGHT SPOT
TL;DR: Came back to PC stuck on BIOS, tried reseating nearly every potential component that could be the issue to no avail, now PC won't make it past a CMOS prompt [I think its a CMOS PROMPT at least, its definitely a windows prompt, wish I remembered the full spiel.] Motherboard is stuck on A1 code as well. GPU fans spin up for a bit before shutting off. What do you guys think the issue is?
Hey guys, so one day about a month ago I came home to my PC on the BIOS screen. Went to exit the BIOS, and naturally the PC restarted or whatever, just to go back into BIOS. I couldn't make it past the BIOS for about a week, so decided to try and fix it myself. Unplugged the PC and brought it downstairs, cleaned the dust off as best as I could without compressed air, yada yada.
I then decided to reseat the RAM, CPU, GPU, check all the power supply connections, reseated both of my M.2 SSDs, to no avail. I think I actually ended up making it worse, because after all of that my PC won't even boot TO bios now, nonetheless past a prompt that is given to me after "resetting CMOS" [?] trying my best to remember without setting it all back up again]]
My PC is now unplugged just collecting dust, as I'm working with my brothers PC at the moment. Did a brief skim of the forums to see if anyone else has had this issue, only found about 2 forums through google that had similar issues [and they both had MSI motherboards funnily enough]. Was hoping to see if I could get some advice or input on this, below I will list my specifications, and what I suspect the issue to be, or potential causes of it.
RYZEN 9 5900x
MSI X570S CARBON MAX WIFI
32GB DDR4 3600mhz RAM
MSI VENTUS 3X OC RTX 3080
ARCTIC LIQUID 360MM AIO
2x M.220 SSDs
So, the main concern is that my GPU is wicked heavy, so it has some GPU sag, wondering if the PCI-E slot on either the motherboard or GPU is broken / damaged.
During the unavoidable BIOS phase of this issue, I noticed my CPU was running slightly hotter than normal, not sure for how long. My pump still works though.
After I tinkered with the system myself, the motherboard is stuck on an A1 code, and GPU fans spin for a bit before eventually shutting off, and no progress is made with the PC booting.
Any input is appreciated, life has gotten really busy lately, trying to juggle school and full time work, so bear with me! I might not be able to boot the system for anyone or even have time to check this forum regularly, but I will definitely be checking whenever I can. Thanks guys.
