I'm unable to get my 14 month PC to boot anymore. When I reset the CMOS via jumper pin and reboot with no RAM I get 5 long beeps. When I reset the CMOS pin and reboot with RAM, I just get a constant power up, fans spin and then power off loop with no beeps.
History:
1. After a Windows restart my PC was in the BIOS screen;
2. I tried rebooting from here and it said that SecureBoot had been disabled and wanted my BitLocker key
3. I rebooted and found a setting for SecureBoot in the bios (I did not write down exactly what this was).
4. After enabling this setting and rebooting the PC has gone into a constant spiral of power on, fans spin up and then power down with no beeps.
I have since followed the guide as best I can - I do not have easy access to spare PSU or RAM. I have reseated all power cables and removed all hard drives/video cards.
As per the intro, the only way I can get different behaviour is by removing the RAM, resetting the CMOS and then powering on. Here it will spin up and down in silence as per normal, then reboot and produce 5 long beeps, then reboot and spin up and down in silence and then reboot with the 5 long beeps - repeated in a loop.
I've also moved the RAM in and out of both positions DDR4_1/DDR4_2 and DD4_3/DDR4_4 - noting that it was in DDR4_1 and DDR4_2 when previously working.
This build has been relatively stable for 14 months although I did have some strange boot issues when I was first putting it together which I can't remember the specifics of.
Specs:
Link to video if anyone wants to see - this is with RAM removed and the cycle with the 5 long beeps.
Any further ideas appreciated
thank you
