I have been having an issue for a few months now in which my PC would crash randomly. Not a BSOD, the audio playing would freeze up, the screen would freeze then cut out/go black. Then the PC would restart, but it wouldn't boot, not even to BIOS. There is always a white Q-LED present, and the error code has always been B2, or if i have CSM disabled, 97. Sometimes after the crash, my PC reverts CSM settings to normal. And sometimes, the q-codes would display as if it were a normal boot, and would eventually display the normal AA, but the white Q-LED light would still be present and I would get no reactions from my monitor at all. The only way I have been able to boot past this white light of death is by reseating the ram and after numerous tries, I would get into the system. I have bought two separate sticks of ram and placed them into the motherboard to see if the ram was faulty, and I kept getting the same issue. So I have cleared the issue being the ram. Any recommendations on what I should do?

SOLVED
i just switched the slot that the GPU was in. The GPU was in the second slot of my X370 motherboard, when i moved it to the first slot, there were no more issues.
