When 10 Year Old PC Boots, Fans Spin but 90% of Boots have no Video or USB. It Behaves Normally Once On
I have been using my first gaming PC built in 2015 as a server for a few months. It has had an issue for awhile when booting where the fans spin, but there is no video out or USB power. I can't remotely access it through SSH either. Up until recently, this would happen every so often. However, it has progressed and happens on almost every boot. If I repeatedly reboot I it starts eventually, perhaps about 1/10 times. Once it does start, it functions normally. I tried using different combinations of RAM in different slots, but it had no effect. From what I can tell this issue is a bit unique so I decided to make this post before switching out any other parts, though I do have another CPU and GPU I could try. There are a few old PCs around that I could maybe harvest a CMOS battery from, and I do have another set of DDR3 RAM lost somewhere. Given the parts I have to switch out, how can I diagnose this issue?
System Specs
CPU: FX-8320e
GPU: Radeon 5770
Motherboard: ASRock 970M PRO3 Micro ATX
RAM: 16GB
PSU: Thermaltake 80+ Bronze 450W Power Supply
