Some spin, some boot

[MatisseBE]

Hi,

I've had multiple issues with my own build before, this is its latest issue.

 

Out of seemingly nowhere my CPU/GPU stops working: screen goes black, no audio, lights on the keyboard/mouse off and GPU/CPU fans halted. Interestingly however, my case fans are still spinning and the light on my power button is still on too. Pressing the power button does nothing. Neither does holding. I have to kill the powerswitch in order to stop it.

 

Rebooting spins up the case fans and draws power to the USB ports (yet the lights on the keyboard/mouse are still off). But the GPU/CPU fans are still not spinning.

Only after some tries it suddenly starts working again. The ASROCK start-up screen is shown after some time, then it goes away again. It comes back quickly and then switches to the login screen. Booting up takes at least 3 times longer than it does usually.

 

This is my first build so my troubleshooting options are very limited. Furthermore I've had some unexplainable issues before which makes me worry greatly. These are the specs:

 

Asrock B450M PRO4 moederbord

Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x16GB 2400

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor

NVIDEA M4000 QUADRO

Cooler Master MWE 650 White - V2 PSU

Crucial P1 1TB M.2 SSD

yeah thats a crash. the software/firmware has stopped responding but the machine still has power. Basically the lights are on but nobody is home.

remove one of these and run it with a single stick alone in the machine , see if it at least stabilizes in that configuration.

So I thought I had some problems with my SSD a few weeks back too. The PC was freezing while using it, booting and it even froze while setting up a clean install of Windows. I was giving it one last try before trying with a lend SSD. It didn't crash anymore (after 2 clean Windows installs (using the same SSD that was causing all the headache)). 

 

My question is do you have any idea how I can efficiently test if it "stabilizes"? Should I try to play games? Boot multiple times? Just use it as normal and wait?

Update.... It resolved itself. 

Perhaps a loose cable somewhere.
