Okay, so ever since early February my pc has been having this problem where whenever I try to turn it off the cpu error light comes on and the cpu fan speed increases. I’ve just been turning it off from the psu for now, but I was told if I keep doing that I could damage the psu. So far to fix it I have tried all of the following.
edit: I should also mention that the ram lights remain on as well
- reseated the ram
- made sure it was set to turn off in the windows power settings
- uninstalled the RGB software
- updated the bios
- shut it off using the power button in windows
- shut it off using a screwdriver on the motherboard
- checking for any scratches on the motherboard
- buying a new cpu cooler (also thank you Linus Tech Tips for the cooler recommendation)
