My PC won't power on!!!

[SidStorm]

Hey Guys.

I am facing a weird issue with my pc. since the last few days, my machine just won't power on in the morning but if I do manage to get it started, it works fine the whole day long, until the next morning when I power on again & also the internal clock is runs a few hours behind every time this phenomenon happens. First time it happened, I tried reseating the ram & that solved the issue for that day. The next day again with the same issue but this time nothing I did helped. I tried unplugging the power cable for the motherboard & CPU, I tried shorting the power switch pins on Motherboard, Nothing worked. Then, against by better judgment, I tried using a hairdryer on the motherboard for a minute or so, that seemed to do the trick. Since the last two days, my PC won't start in the mornings until I use the hairdryer and it works flawlessly throughout the whole day even under full load.

My PC specs for your reference:

Ryzen 4650G

Asus B550 Prime-A Motherboard

Adata XPG 8GB Ram

Coolermaster 450W PSU

 

I also have a ten years old Core i3 PC on the same table, that works just fine, no such issues with it. So I don't think that the Humidity could be the main culprit here, but what do you guys think.

Any ideas & suggestions are welcome.

 

Thank you.

That means: The RAM could be the problem.

Well, what does the hairdryer do? It heats up your build. Most things expand when they heat up.

 

So maybe the problem is, that your RAM is connected badly and the hairdryer somehow expands the contacts so they are connected again. So take a look at the RAM and make sure, the contacts look good and clean. If you use a 2x RAM kit, you could try to use one and see if it works or which one of them is the problem.

If using a hair dryer helped then try reflowing it with a heat gun or maybe the oven but I wouldn’t risk the oven

I'd replug all connectors (also psu side), reseat ram and gpu,

Maybe resocket cpu,

Change cmos battery, reset bios

(maybe change psu ?)
