Where to start. I just give ya everything I can.
FYI, All parts listed in my signature.
Ive built a few (10ish) PC’s over the last 20 years and this is new for me and with the new tech, I’m just at a loss.
I built this about a week ago, new everything apart from the case. Amazingly, everything worked first try and got to BIOS, followed some videos and cleared it and installed the newest, which I had downloaded prior to a USB. I didn‘t overclock anything and proceeded to install windows, which went well too. Installed chipset and drivers and everything else. Spent a day running tests and monitoring things. Temps were fantastic, speeds were great and power seemed good too. Played a bunch of games and coming from my last PC it was just a massive difference. I had 0 issues all week and haven’t changed anything. While playing Spider-man: Miles Morales (30+ hours already) the game gets hung up, but not the PC and i closed it down via task manager. I restarted the PC and tried 1-2 other things and then back to Spidey and was fine for a while, and then hung up again, this time it worried me and was gonna uninstall it and check the PC in general and see if anything was wrong that i could tell. This was the end and it never booted again… THE END.
When i tried to reboot, I got some beeps and then nothing. A few more reboots and i realized it was the “1 Long, 2 Short beeps” and googled the hell out of that to no avail. Then I noticed in the MOBO manual that it has a LED code Debug screen, but I never saw it cause it’s in a terrible spot in the top corner, hidden, but then I started looking for a code to stick but it never stopped on one. I’ve seen A1 and B4 and D6 and a lot of numbers from the 20-50’s. So that didn’t help much. Then I noticed the Onboard LED lights. So it stays on the “red” CPU for 1-7 seconds, pretty much skips the mem, and then “white” VGA for 4-8 seconds and that’s when the beeps happen. Then a quick “green” light at the end and then they all go off and stay off, but nothing happens with the PC. After swapping to my old GPU, it did the same thing, which made me 99% sure it was the MOBO and not the GPU (I really hope its not…). I also tried with 1 stick of RAM and that didn’t help and even got my older ram out and tried that and the same lights and sounds. At this time I was using a different PSU cause the one I ordered was on back order and just got here yesterday. Gamemax 1050w RGB ATX12V. It wasn’t the one I wanted but it was gonna work for the 10 days till the better one got here.
So convinced it was the MOBO, I ordered another one and it showed up the same day as the PSU, yesterday, and I pretty much rebuild the whole thing again and prayed, apparently to the wrong god… cause nothing worked and had the same beeps!!!! Just, how? So I spend the rest of the night taking out parts and trying it over and over. I tried 4 different sticks of MEM, 2 GPU’s, just the NVMe and just the SSD, no GPU, nothing. I read a lil bout clearing CMOS but that didn’t help and I honestly don’t even know what that did lol. I honestly don’t understand how the same issue can still be happening with a new MOBO and everything else, and still pointing to the VGA and “Something not being plugged in all the way…” I really don’t know where to go from here and I’m throughly freaked out and panicked. I would feel sooo much better if I would of made any headway at all.
I really hope some fine folks out there, much smarter than me, can take a look at all this and take some of your precious time and help me out!!! I’m here to answer any questions and send any info I can that will help. I’m here all day and will be trying any and everything short of blood sacrificing, unless you think it will help…
