I have been having a very weird POST issue.
My specs (all components 1 month old):
PSU: ToughPower GF1 750W Gold
Mobo: B550 Aorus Pro (latest bios)
CPU: 3700x Ryzen 7
GPU: RTX 3070 Asus Dual OC
RAM: G.Skill RipJaws V series 16GB 3600 CL16
If I play a GPU intensive game and then power off the PC normally through windows and try to power on the PC after 5 secs, POST fails with CPU and RAM debug lights flashing back and forth. The CPU led will clear and then move to DRAM, it stays there for 2 secs and then moves back to the CPU led and back to RAM, and keeps repeating. If instead of Powering On the PC right away after shutoff I wait 2-3 minutes, no issues. Now, If I don't do anything that's intensive, such as browsing, youtube, etc, and power off the PC and power on right away, no POST issues. None of these issues happen if I just restart Windows, no POST issues at all regardless of what games I was playing. My temps when gaming for GPU are 71C and CPU 70C. I can game all day without issues, hell I can run cyberpunk and then run cinebench r20 in the background and I have no issues with the PSU. I would not have found this issue if it was not for an email I forgot to write after a gaming session. I shut off my PC and then remember I had to write an email and turn it on right away and noticed the POST issue. I have been testing to see what triggers it and it seems to be consistent with having a GPU intensive game running for a while before shut off. If I play a GPU intensive game and then quit the game and just browse for half an hour and then shut down the PC and turn it back on, no issues.
