my PC always gets this problem and drives me mad
1 hour ago, johnt said:I think there is a slim chance it is the motherboard. Fans require significantly less power to start. Usually they are on completely different rails than the CPU and other major components. The Op mentions it doesn't post and he gets a black screen... why not say it's the GPU? (which he didn't list, but an F series Intel CPU doesn't have an iGPU, so he definitely has a GPU).
It could easily be a wiring short if the Op really plays with the internals for 1 to 5 hours every time this happens.
Update : turned out it’s the ram sockets on the right side that are just a lil dirty even tho they look clean
i told a friend of mine about the problem and thank god he had the same problem before and his MB got a lil digital screen in it that showed a code for ram.
he told me to try using one ram stick on each socket and see if it works, it did on both sockets closer to CPU and didn’t on the others and he told me to try using both ram sticks on both the working sockets and it worked but no in dual channel of course. so he told me to clean the other sockets with a tooth brush and guess what? it worked like magic
i feel so stupid now but im glad i finally know what caused the problem.
still gonna change PSU tho lol.
thanks a lot everyone for your time.
