Hi all,
My PC has this rather unusual quirk where, on occasion, it will black screen (in Windows), and then will refuse to post (with the VGA light on) until I fully unplug it and leave it. This issue has been present for the last few months, though I haven't been able to find a cause. More recently, however, is that, around 80% of the time, it will get stuck on the BOOT light for around 2 minutes, before then taking about 2 more minutes to get into Windows. When it gets into Windows, it's very slow and Explorer frequently crashes.
I have tried:
- Plugging and Unplugging the Graphics Card
- Resetting CMOS
- chkdsk and sfc /scannow
- Reinstalling Windows
- Windows Diagnostic RAM Test
- FurMark - was slower than previous attempts at same settings
- CPU-Z - CPU shows up fine
- GPU-Z - GPU shows up fine
- Checking Task Manager - everything shows up OK
- Checked Temps - all good
- Swapping SSD out and installing windows on a fresh SSD - no dice (refused to show up in BIOS)
This computer (custom-built) has been a bit of a hassle for me. The previous motherboard died unexpectedly after around 2 years. I'm afraid perhaps something has failed or that perhaps something is failing.
SPECS:
CASE: CORSAIR CRYSTAL SERIES 570X RGB GAMING CASE
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7 Eight Core Processor i7-10700KF
MOTHERBOARD: ROG STRIX B560F GAMING WIFI (according to CPU-Z)
GPU: 6GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1660 SUPER
M.2 SSD: 1TB INTEL® 665p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD
PSU: CORSAIR 550W CV SERIES™ CV-550 POWER SUPPLY
CPU COOLER: Corsair H100i RGB PLATINUM Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler
EXTRA CASE FANS: 1x 120mm Black Case Fan (configured to extract from rear/roof)
OS: Windows 11 (latest version)
I would appreciate anyone's opinion as I'm at a loss and I can't afford to pay someone to diagnose it
