Question Strange pc issues please help

[Supermotofool]

Some advice needed;

PC wont boot, stays on the VGA mobo light before the bios screen prompt.

Then I have to reset it a few times, Ill get the MSI logo eventually but it will be frozen and doesnt boot to windows.

After a few more resets I'll finally get the system to boot but then cpu is stuck 0.52 ghz till I restart it again using the windows option to restart ( will restart fine when after its booted).

The issue then only persists once the system shut down then I have to repeat this process.

Any suggestions appreciated, I've so far ive tried:

• reinstalled windows onto a fresh m.2 drive set up with a UEFI windows 10 ( tried switching from legacy )
• Disabled precision boost ( ryzen chip )
• Updated bios
• Rolled back bios to older version
• Removed other drives
• Swapped ram around
• Re sat gpu.

All components were bought new around 1 year ago

Any suggestions appreciated

I would pull the GPU and see if that helps.

Well, You need something to troubleshoot it with 🙃
The fact that POST gets stuck on the VGA part, suggests that it might have something to do with it. Worth checking.

So I grabbed a pc from work and troubshooted every single part and the problem persisted with all diff parts apart from my mobo and cpu so I'm assuming it's my motherboard, bit crappy considering it's only 6 months old

Did you try the other PSU too?

I did, the only parts I couldnt swap out were the mobo and CPU and out of the two I'd put money on it being the MOBO

If you still have the paperwork, you might send it back to the vendor, the mobo should have warranty. Long wait though.

Yeah ive got the box still and got it on amazon so I have a email invoice, my work is paying for an upgraded replacement for me i beleive as the issue occured while working from home so they just want me back up and running asap.

I'm looking at an Asus TUF gaming x570-plus instead now as a replacment

Just had a build with this one, make sure your RAM is on the QVL.

Assuming that means quality vendor list? The ram that the boards been tested with?

Spot on, "Qualified Vendor List", should be here.
