If I turn pc on and off the vga light comes on and doesn’t work

haydenboon · Thursday at 06:38

Hi, I’ve build a new pc and when I initially turned it on it brought me into the bios. But if I turn it off and back on the vga light will stay on and nothing will happen. The only thing I’ve noticed is that if I take out the cpu and put it back in or wait 15 mins and turn it back on it works again. Has anyone ever had this problem or know what’s wrong?

Check the CPU socket on the motherboard for any bent pins.

No bent pins

Not up to date on latest Intel but they did have problems with some CPU's, but don't think yours was affected.

Have you tried resetting CMOS?

If you have 1 power cable (daisy chain) to the GPU, swap it to 2 seperate cables

I had to get the motherboard replaced as the other one wasn’t letting me change the battery for the cmos

I’m already using 2 power cables but have tried both ways

Go into the bios and Try try setting the primary GPU slot from Auto to pcie4 and maybe try pcie3 if still having problems.

Would also try reseating your GPU , take it and put back in incase it's not make a true connection.

I think I have already tried that

That's a good shout.
When i first built my Ryzen it would only work when set to pcie3 (could have been pcie4), i had to RMA the CPU.

How come you couldn't change the battery?

It was completely wedged in and wouldn’t budge so I got Amazon to send me another one

Did you update to the latest?

Did you update the ME firmware?

How do I update the ME software

Looks like you install the update from within Windows, but i don't think you have got that done yet.

The cooler being to tight could be the cause, try loosening the screws slightly.

What cooler have you got?

I don’t think it’s on that tight. I tighten it so it doesn’t wobble. I’ll try to see if I can do the update. The main problem is that if it restarts or turns of it won’t come back on again and the vga light will come on
