Hey guys. I've started having some problems with my PC two days ago. Two days ago, my monitor gave me the "No Signal" error all of a sudden when I turned my PC on. So I thought maybe it was my DVI cable, graphic card or monitor that was faulty. Long story short that wasn't the case. I tried different cables and monitors, tried unplugging my graphic card but those didn't help at all.
So I pondered about what might be the problem. And I've noticed a ticking sound that I didn't notice before.
Here's a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAb0sB4va1g&feature=youtu.be
Note that I don't own the video but it's the exact same ticking sound.
I tried to pinpoint where that sound comes from but I couldn't. But while I tried to pinpoint the origin of these sounds, I've found a workaround to my problem. It turns out unplugging and plugging back my RAMs to their respective slots lets my PC boot and work normally. But the thing is, after shutting down my PC same issue occours again. My PC doesn't boot up properly and resets itself a few time till it makes that ticking sound and when that happens I get "no signal" error on my monitor. Unplugging and plugging back my RAMs make me use my PC without any problems untill I turn my PC off again. A weird thing to note, "restarting" works fine. But turning my PC off and on doesn't, as I explained before.
I tried plugging a RAM at a time and plugging those RAMs to different slots. Same thing happened. My PC starts up normally when I unplug and plug the RAM(s) but shutting off the PC makes the problem come back.
My specs are:
MOBO: GIGABYTE Z97X-Gaming 5
RAM: ADATA USA XPG V1.0 OC Series 16GB (8x2)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2
Graphic Card: GEVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB FTW
CPU: Intel i5-4690
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
So, I've tried CMOS reset. It didn't help.
I changed BIOS settings and set memory settings manually, it didn't help.
I thought maybe it's due to how Windows handle the shutting down process and shut down the PC while I'm in BIOS, it didn't help.
I'm really frustrated. I would really appreciate some help.
