Im a bit unsure which part is called BOOT and which is called POST, so ill keep those word aside.
Heres the timeline:
I turn on the wall switch allowing power to PSU
Motherboard light is on
I hit the power button on my cabinet to start my pc
Cabinet, cpu and gpu fans are on, cabinet light is off, video displays no signal
I panic
I wait for 30secs to a few mins - sometimes it starts, cabinet light turns on, display signal is received and i use pc without a problem
If after waiting a few mins i see nothing, i unplug all usb and ethernet
Turn off pc by holding down cabinet power button - the running fans stop
Then hit the power button on cabinet again - sometimes it starts instantly, sometimes after a few secs
Edit: these hacks stopped working. Now the pc never starts. Sent PSU for RMA.
Now, this odd behavious started out of the blue. For all its life, the instant i hit that power button on cabinet, the cabinet light triggered.
Things i have done so far:
Everything in no display troubleshoot sticky
Checked in BIOS boot option to see if boot drive is correct and not set to usb.
Reset bios settings (there was nothing to reset)
Checked windows startup delay time and set it to 0
Some posts said their Asus mobo had a BIOS Flash button that was accidentally depressed by the wrong I/O panel which was causing similar effect on their pc (i dont have bios flash button on my mobo)
I have a feeling it has something to do with my PSU. Sadly i dont have access to any spare or extra parts for testing
Specs:
ASUS B360M - K
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2400 X 2
i5 - 8400
ZOTAC GTX 1060 6gb Amp
Corsair CX 450M (RMAed once)
Windows 10 X64
