"PC Startup Issues: Troubleshooting a Black Screen and BIOS Errors" [ It's getting annoying HELP ]

[Midnight_Phantom]

Hey there, so I'm having some trouble with my PC startup. Usually, I disconnect the whole thing from the power when I'm not using it. Anyways, I turned on my desktop as usual and the screen was completely black - nothing was posting. All the other devices were getting power and even the motherboard and GPU were getting power, but still nothing was happening. I tried pressing some keys on my keyboard and swiping my mouse a couple of times, but still, nothing happened.

 

I thought maybe the monitor was off, but when I checked it was getting power. So, I decided to restart my PC and this time it turned on. However, there was a BIOS prompt and I got the usual error about my CPU fan because I didn't plug in the AIO's ones to the board when I was installing my AIO. I had been delaying this for some time now.

 

Anyway, I went into the BIOS and reset it to default, then set the CPU fan option to ignore and saved it. Then I booted up my device and everything was up and running without any errors. I checked a couple of things on my desktop, cleared the disk using Windows' disk cleanup tool, and restarted my PC again. All was well and running smoothly. Even when I powered off my system and the motherboard lights turned off completely and powered up the device again and it was still working fine.

 

I don't have a power backup system, so I know if the PC's power cut off while running can be the reason for some errors, but it was working fine the last couple of times it happened. I probably got a Windows disk checkup prompt once or twice in this build, but I remember shutting down the device and cutting the power.

 

Now, on the second day, I tried turning on my device and the same thing happened again. This time I saw a BIOS error (d6), but I really don't get how the GPU could be the problem. Restarting while the power is plugged in result in reset of the motherboard, so I think it might be my battery. However, I'm still confused because after shutting down and cutting the power off and after the motherboard lights turned off completely, I was able to re-power and turn on the device without any issues. So, I'm not sure what the problem is - I can't figure it out.

 

I think it might be the battery causing the problem. But who knows, right? I'm gonna swap out the batteries and give it a couple of days to see what happens. But hey, if anyone out there has dealt with a similar issue, I'd really appreciate some guidance. It would save me the trouble of going through more troubleshooting if changing the batteries doesn't do the trick.
