PC not posting, unless it is disconnected.

[Rene Nieto]

Hello Everyone, Im hoping you guys can help me solve this issue i'm having, 

 

So the problem is that when I go and try to turn on the computer, I get the Orange LED pop up on the motherboard and the PC wouldnt post, that happens everytime I try to boot up the pc unless I disconnect the power cord or kill the switch on the PSU, this happens even when I put the computer on sleep and try to use it later on. 

 

My pc specs are:

Ryzen 5 3600.

RTX 2080 PNY XLR8

16GB TridentZ 3600mhz

Cooler master MWE 600watts 80plus bronze

Asus Strix b450 gaming f

nvme m.2 ssd XPG RGB

 

here is a picture of the orange light I get when I try to boot up the computer when I dont disconnect the power cord.

 

 

When I kill the switch 

I get 3 LEDS on the motherboard, first comes the orange, then it changes to Red, then white and finally it posts with a green light.

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

Look in your motherboard manual to see what those LEDs are indicating, that'll be your first step.

I looked it up of course and it says that the orange led is refered to the RAM. but the thing I dont understand is why i posts if I kill the power.

Ok let me rephrase that, so the computer boots and posts if I kill the switch on psu and leave for like 5 secs, then I turn it on again and it posts. and Im able to play games and everything without stability issues, its just the start that is bothering me. I already tried swapping the dims and and using only one dim and it still only boots if I do the power cycle.

because you are clearing the memory fully when you kill the power so its doing a reset one of your ram sticks is going bad take one out and see if it works fine then do it with the other one too also if you get it booted go and get memtest and run it it will tell you if they are bad or not too

Hello, sorry for the late reply.  

 

So I ran the memtest for nearly 4 hours and got no errors, do you have any other idea of what might be happening or what could be the problem. 

 

thanks.
