Please keep it to 1 thread
Good morning team,
specs:
cpu: i9 9900k
ram: 32gb crucial ddr 4 3200
gpu: radeon vega 56
psu: corsair 550b bronze
mobo: Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X
os: windows 11
I have the dreaded cpu diagnostic lamp on my mobo flashing twice and no boot at all.
This happened for no reason while booting BF2042.
My system has not changed in 6 months.
The only thing i did last night was change the power plan and left it downloading a game for a few (4 hours) ( which i have done countless times) and then switched off via the power button in the night but all booted up and i played warcraft for a few mins, switched off and loaded bf 2042, all switched off and now i cannot boot. The fans did not go wild just before so i presume no overheat issue.
When i plug in and switch on the power toggle the board lights up so i presume it is not the PSU.
I have unpluggued everything except cpu,fan and 24 pin mobo plug and also removed all ram, drives and usb hubs, 8 pin pcie power cable (still same).
I have removed the cpu and reseated, still no start, same light.
My mobo cpu pins have a couple of bends in them and i only have ram slots 1 and 2 because of this but this has not been as issue in 2 years.
I haver done cmos reset (also changed battery)and also a hard reset of the motherboard ref gigabyte.
This is the weirdest thing but i suppose hardware failure can arrive at any time.
My question is the impossible one. Does anyone think this is the cpu or mobo at fault?
Or a red herring and a psu fault?
Any help or advice i would be grateful for.
much love x
