[SOLVED] Sudden shut down, not starting back up.

[Natrium]

So i was away from my computer for 30 minutes (only having youtube in the background). When i came back it was turned off and my motherboard lights red and goes back and forth between CPU and VRAM, when i start the pc. What to do? (Pc has been working for 5 months)

Every fan and such starts up when i click the power button, nothing on my screen though.

specs

cpu: ryzen 2600
gpu: rtx 2060 gaming z
mobo: b450 aorus pro
ram: vengeance rgb 16 gb 3200mhz
power supply: corsair 650 watt gold fully modular
case: NZXT H500
cpu cooler: arctic freezer 34

Try clearing the CMOS and testing single RAM module, if two sticks installed. Test each RAM.

wow clearing the CMOS worked, but will that make my settings to default or what does clearing it do?

Thank you so much!

 

[alexoiu]

You're welcome. Yes, it reverts the BIOS settings to default too. I suggest leaving the RAM settings like that.

u sure? Cause my ram as default was set to like 1600 mhz while they should run at 3200 mhz

1600 in CPU-Z means actually 3200 (1600x2). Now it should show something around 2133/2.

isnt that bad for a ryzen cpu tho?

 

[alexoiu]

Nope.

 

[Natrium]

Nope.

but im not using the full capacity of my rams right?

 

[alexoiu]

Not much. Another option would be running them at a higher speed, but lower than 3200.
