PC won't boot anymore

Peter Adenauer · July 28, 2022

My PC built a couple weeks ago does not boot. The MSI pro b660 m a wi-fi has diagnostic leds (CPU, DRAM, VGA, BOOT). Usually all leds blick for a shot moment in listed order with Cpu taking the most time. Now the first three seem fine, yet the last one (boot) doesn't light up. The monitor gets a signal yet it only shows the MSI and freesyncy logos (at once) and then stays black. Usually after not being used for some time (I think) it goes to sleep. This does not happen anymore and the fans keep spinning. Could this be because of improper usage? Yesterday it was fine.

Have you done any overclocking in the bios recently? Sometimes if you overclock something like ram too much it can lead to this issue. Try taking out the motherboards CMOS Battery for 1 minute then put it back in. (Note: this will reset your bios settings)

No I have not over locked anything, however it still worked. So thank you
