Hi guys good afternoon
well i'm having an extremely bizarre problem and i don't know what to do anymore because i've already changed some parts and the problem persisted
I had a 4070 eagle with an msi mpg b550 and an xpg pylon 650w and randomly when turning on the PC, the motherboard would lock on the GPU light (white VGA light).
this usually indicates a problem with the GPU
i replaced the motherboard with a tuf b550 and the problem persisted
i ended up returning the eagle and got a 4070 super windforce on sale and the problem persisted
i went there again and swapped the xpg 650w for a core reactor 650w and it still persisted
all that's left is the CPU (which I highly doubt, I've never damaged it, dropped it etc or bent pins) or the RAM (tested several times on memtest86 and it never shows any errors).
If it was the CPU or the RAM, wouldn't it point to the respective light on the motherboard rather than always stopping at the VGA?
I also swapped the sata SSD for an m2 one just to be on the safe side and it's still there.
I don't know if it's worth changing it (or if it's really bad luck that it's the CPU or the RAM).
RAM and CPU have never given me any problems before, and I've never overclocked them or anything like that (the 5700x3d is even locked for overclocking).
Anyway, I've never looked into it
I have 4 3200mhz team group cards (native speed, I've always used this speed and it's never crashed).
That's what's most bizarre, when the PC turns on I literally have no problems.
i have an ultragear connected to the VGA by display port cable ( with a 90 degree adapter on the monitor , also no problems on the monitor)
and samsung 4k bu8000 tv connected by an HDMI 2.0 cable directly, without adapters(no problems as well)
I have an orico bluetooth dongle (I suspect it may be freaking the motherboard on boot), a redragon keyboard (dragonborn switch brown), a logitech g305 (I use the logitech extension cable and dongle) and a corsair hs65 surround headset.
All the devices work perfectly when the PC is turned on (this failure to post happens once a month or so, randomly without any pattern).
Could it be the gpu cable that's damage maybe (HDMI or dp)?
I connect the tv to my own power strip (quality one, which is also connected to the router).
and on the pc I have another power strip (I connect the monitor and the pc to it).
I don't know what else to do, is there something wrong or a detail?
is there a possibility that the computer case is doing it ? the power button always passes power, the fans turn on etc but sometimes it stops at the white light of the VGA, I have to press reset on the case and it turns on
or is it possible that the line filter is causing this?
I think it's impossible to go through 2 ssds, 2 motherboards, 2 gpus and 2 power supplies with the same behavior.
where should i try to solve it? thanks
