Question Pc won't start after BSOD

[Tom_SideWindeR]

Hello,

Today I got a BSoD driver irql not equal or less. After the message, I can't boot up the pc. It happened while playing Guild Wars, which is a 15 year old game so not very heavy on the hardware, I think.

Here are my specs:
MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 WRAITH with stock cooler
be quiet! Pure Power 11 CM 600W
Gigabyte 515GB SSD
Asus GeForce GTX 1060 3g
8gb Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2400MHz DDR4
Windows 10 Home
Build is approx. 2 months old, haven't had this issue yet.

When trying to turn the pc on, the debug light for CPU turns on on the motherboard. After a few seconds, it turns back off and all the fans start spinning slower (less noise).
I can't get into Bios.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit:

I've tried using just 1 stick of RAM in all available slots. No luck.

Checked if cables are connected properly, no issues there.

Do you know what the error code is on the blue screen?

Unfortunatly, no. I got the error once, it was gone pretty quick. Couldn't boot after

Only read Driver irql not equal or less

Just remove the battery?

I think he means this and notice your ram is 2400MHz ddr4!

System Memory
System Memory Specification 3200MHz
System Memory Type DDR4
Memory Channels 2

So my RAM is too slow?

Is it possible for the pc to work for 2 months before getting problems?

no , slow ram cant cause pc failed to boot , just your ram is fautly or the mobo or cpu 1 of 3 things , not the slow ram caused it

What do you suggest I do now?
Since the parts are all fairly new, should I try to get replacements from the shop I bought them?
Is there any way to identify which of the 3 is busted?

 

[XxDarkMario20xX]

Unplug your hardrive and see if it gose to the Bios if not would suggest thinking about taking some parts back to shop and get an replacement or RMA them because most likely you got blue screen of death and one of your parts carused it! Without the error message going to be hard to find out what part done it!

its hard man , if you have the testing card it will report some code and you can find which is fautly but only engineer have it , user hard to find
try ram replacement first mobo after that may be it can fix your probelm

 

[Tom_SideWindeR]

Thank you all for the quick responses. I'm going to contact the shop and see what I can do.

be quiet! makes some OK cooler - had no idea they sold power supplies as well - one area to NEVER skimp on is the power supply - the power supply is the single most important component in your PC

Not booting, can't get into BIOS - motherboard was failing - caused BSOD, reset finished killing it off - won't boot can't get into BIOS...

Would bet on motherboard failed - dead. Could be the CPU - or a combination of both - unless you have another compatible motherboard and or CPU this one will be tough to narrow down.

BIOS initializes before the hard drives - so if he can't get into the bios, then the drives are not initialized yet.

Quick update:

I returned the CPU to the seller, they confirmed it was broken, sent me a new one which I installed today. I still get the same issue. Does this mean the motherboard is faulty?

Thanks again!
