I have a PC I built and it’s been running fine for 5 years now. Last night, I put my PC to sleep but it turned back on. Weird, but I was tired and did not think anything of it. I shut it down instead and went to bed. Before I fell asleep, I heard it turn itself on and I got up and the monitor was showing the classic ASUS “press del to enter bios” splash screen. Power cycled it and it would not boot into again Windows. The Boot Device troubleshooting LED is lit, and I tried to get into BIOS using delete key and it won’t even go into BIOS. I unplugged the PC and took out the CMOS battery and waited a few minutes, and then tried again with no improved result. I unplugged all SSDs and only put in one stick of RAM and nothing changed. Any ideas at next troubleshooting steps? I am going to get a wired keyboard from my work to eliminate that as a possibility, although I have never been unable to enter BIOS with my wireless keyboard ever before.
