Question Don’t know what else to do????

PC question - only 2 years old… lol

Not exactly sure what’s going on-

Was working fine outside of the Ethernet connection since I’ve owned it - where I have to shutdown the PC completely and start it again to get some of the back ports to function, but wasn’t a big deal.

Now it’s not wanting to turn on at all. Unplug the PC completely - unplugged all USB ports - unplugged for 30 seconds and held down power button- the other thing that seems to work sometimes is turning off the PSU entirely and then sometimes it will boot up - or unplugging it.

It’s a ASUS X670-P PRIME WIFI AMD AM5 ATX- so doesn’t look like it has a power button on the board itself besides unplugging and resetting.

Turned off all power options on USBs - turned on ERP in Bios.

Took it to Microcenter - they couldn’t screw driver it so they let it sit for a day - then it powered on instantly the next day. So they ran stress tests on everything and everything came back fine and in normal range.

I have absolutely 0 clue on what to do next other then RMA the board and hopefully that fixes it- and then the PSU if it doesn’t.

Only thing I haven’t done is switch out the RAM- and removing the CMOs battery - since I can’t see it being a Bios problem- or a Windows issue so no point of reinstalling.

Sounds like a cold solder joint somewhere on the board, or a short somewhere. Replace the MB if you don't want to start on the bench piece by piece.

It’s just so weird - the Ethernet cable port has been giving me issues since I built it and didn’t think anything of it.

Now it’s doing this [Mod Edit] - and now it just randomly turned on. So it very may well be a short in the board… Zzz I seriously don’t want to deal with ASUS RMA crap with all the horror stories I’ve heard about it.

I see this comes with a separate backplate (I/O). Make sure that none of the little tension "springs" are actually inside a USB port, etc.
