So 4 weeks ago I replaced my GPU and after that I had some wierd issues like the vga light. I didn't think much of it I simply considered it being a bug but 4 days ago while in idle my screen turned black. The PC was running but the DRAM light was on. After turning the PSU and on again and booting it worked as normal but the BIOS settings were cleared. It happened again a day ago. I don't know if it's my RAM my motherboard or CPU.
Here is a list of things I tried to fix the issue:
- Resetting the BIOS
- Reflashing the BIOS
- Changing the BIOS version to a previous one
- Turning off fast boot on windows
- Changing the GPU
- Reinstalling windows
- Switching the CMOS battery
- Giving the PC to a repair shop (I live in a rather small city and there aren't many, also none of them are good)
- Manually setting the timings and voltage on RAM
I've asked about this elswhere before and someone said that seems to be a motherboard problem but I want to be sure before I buy and try out a new one.
Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
CPU cooler: Fera 5
Motherboard: B450 Aorus Elite V2 (F63)
RAM: Corsair Vengance rgb pro 32gb 3200mhz
SSD: M.2 PNY 500gb XLR8 CS3030, M.2 1tb CS2130
GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX6700xt
PSU: Be quiet! Striaght power 11 650w platinum
OS: W11
Monitor: Acer Nitro XV240YPBMIIPRX
Edit: So after turning off my PC for 10 minutes I turned it back on and after a minute my screen went black but this time the CPU light came on wth. I turned the PC off by PSU and turned it on, cycled a few times after which it turned on, BIOS was reset.
