So me and a friend have been troubleshooting this issue down to the motherboard, tested different CPUs and power supplies, triple checked connections, checked for any bent pins in the socket and if any components have been broken off or moved.
My system would either:
Turn completely off as soon as I power it on, then continue to loop on and off.
Loop on for a couple of seconds, off for a couple of seconds and then on again.
Turn on, stay on, but no display at all prompting me to do anything. My monitor wouldn’t detect a signal.
This has been a frustrating issue that has stopped me from doing productivity work. Yesterday my friend also brought his motherboard speaker, double checked for the right connections and upon turning on, gave us no sound, providing us no indication of what’s going on.
Any bit of help would be wonderful, even if it’s just a small bit.
If needed, here are my PC specs:
i5-6400
Hyper 212 EVO
Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 3
PNY Anarchy 16GB 2133 MHz
EVGA 550W PSU Non-Modular/No 80+ Rating
Corsair Carbide 200R
