Sudden shutdown

[r0b0f0r0ce]

I was just playing Apex Legends and all of a sudden my pc turned off and kept trying to turn on again multiple times with no success .. so I killed the power

 

- Gaming session was about 20min to 30min 

- No blue screen or anything 

- When it turned off for the 1st time it kept turning on for like 2 secs and then back off.

- I heard a quick and loud noise in my earphones when it turned off.

- I felt around the pc and it didn't feel too hot 

- the game was running as usual I didn't notice any performance drop before it happened 

 

When I turn it on now it doesn't post .. All lights in the motherboard are on and all the fans are spinning but no posting ( I tried multiple times )

 

 

My specs are : 

 

Mother board : Asus Prime B350-Plus

 

GPU : Asus Geforce GTX 1050 Ti

 

CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 1600 

 

PSU : Corsair VS 450, 450 WATT

 

RAM : Corsair Vengeance LPX 2×8GB 3000MHz

 

Please help

Pull the CMOS battery out of the motherboard for 5 minutes, then reinstall it and try booting again.

If it still wont post, it sounds like something CPU or motherboard went POP....

Forgot to mention, Unplug the PSU from the wall and turn that off too when pulling the battery.

Could the GPU not be outputting anything?

If the lights are on and the fans are working?  DO you have any other GPU to swap in to see?

 

If no, then I would pull everything you dont need and see if you can get it to post.

 

Removed the extra RAM DIMM, Extra drives, all USB devices, everything, and see if it posts.

 

After that, if nothing changes, you'll need to start looking for damaged components.

Might have a bad stick of RAM.

I'd start looking at ways of testing the RAM to see if that's the issue and not the MOBO.  Memtest etc.

Glad it posted!

I'm in the bios now do you suggest anything I can check here before I try sticking the ram back on ?
