Hi,
I'm posting this message because I've had an intermittent problem with my computer for over a year now and have never been able to find out what the issue is despite extensive troubleshooting and discussions with ASUS support.
Problem:
Turning the computer on is like a lottery, sometimes it will boot up straight away with no issues, sometimes it will not POST. When it fails to boot, I get a "no signal" message on the monitor and no power to any of the peripherals. The QLED display on the motherboard shows "C6" and there is an orange DRAM light.
If I repeatedly hit the reset button on the case, eventually it will boot but this could take 1 try or 20.
Troubleshooting steps taken:
- Updated BIOS
- Reset CMOS
- Reset BIOS settings to default
- All RAM sockets tested and in various different combinations (1 stick, 2 sticks etc)
- RAM with default timing
- RAM with DOCP settings applied
- Tested RAM using the windows tools (all sticks reported OK)
- Operating system reinstalled
- Full system rebuild (more than once!)
- Tested different combinations of peripherals and booting only with the essentials attached.
Any help is massively appreciated!
Spec:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
- Mainboard: ROG STRIX X570-E Gaming, BIOS 4601
- Memory (2x8GB) DDR4 G.Skill/Samsung F4-3200C14-8GFX
