It started a few days ago when I would get a boot message saying 'overclocking failed press F1 to enter setup' on my Asus motherboard. Going through setup clicking save and exit without doing any changes the PC would boot fine, it did this a few days in a row but not always.
Now I'm starting to get the issues with the screen not turning on at boot up even though the PC seems to run fine, fans running, LED lights etc. I've switched between HDMI input direct into the motherboard and also DP input direct into my graphics card.
I can sit there turning the PC on and back off anything between 10 and 15 times and it runs fine except the screen stays in sleep mode due to no signal before it just suddenly provides power to the screen on a random reboot and boots as normal. The boot up messages have gone away since I flashed the BIOS but I'm still getting the strange power up issues every time.
If I do a restart using Windows the PC turns off restarts but then no power to the screen, I then have to do a hard power off and on multiple times until the screen on suddenly works again.
I have removed the graphics card fully and the problem is still happens ruling out the graphics card. Now if it's the motherboard could it be a power supply to the motherboard and not the motherboard itself ? any tests or guidance you can provide are greatly appreciated.
The only other slight clues that may help is my Corsair keyboard with background lights do not come on again if I do a restart on the PC I have to physically pull the cable out of the USB port and push back in, then they light up and even then I still have to do another hard power off and on.
Also I configured a power down windows sleep setting for the first time ever about 2 weeks ago and sometimes it won't power back up from that after pressing the keyboard or moving the mouse etc without doing a hard power rest again.
It never has a problem once booted and running.
I'm guessing something is 'on the way out' and I'd love to get things ordered in and fixed before it completely dies on me. It points to a power issue of some sort to me but I'm really not sure.
