Hey everyone,
I've had this issue with my computer happen for the second time now, I've found a way to fix it but was wondering if anyone knows why this happens? or why what I do fixes it?
Pretty much what happens is this:
Computer freezes - If I'm watching a video computer freezes but the audio will keep going, spacebar to pause video doesn't work, no response.
I power computer off and upon powering it back on:
Peripherals don't work - Monitors, keyboard and mouse have no display, lights, response.
Holding power button down to turn off pc doesn't turn off pc, the power button lights just flicker on and off (restart button also is non-responsive)
Unplug and replug - still nothing works, pc still "turns on" all lights in pc work (cpu cooler, ram, mobo, power button)
Turning on the pc with only 1 Ram stick on 2nd slot doesn't fix issue
Disconnecting GPU doesn't fix issue (It didn't this time I don't remember last time)
What I've found fixes the issue:
Disconnecting and reconnecting 3 of the closest power cables on PSU (not the MOBO cable)
Resetting CMOS Battery
Taking out GPU
Leaving only 1 stick of Ram on 2nd slot
When I turn the pc on after doing that, the peripherals work (no display cause no integrated graphics)
Power button works also
Then I put everything back and pc goes back to working normally
Anyone know why this happens? Would love to know
Thanks!
