@@debo3467 have you experience power fluctuation in your house lately? if you have done all you said and still happening i think there was low power draw from wall outlet. On the otherhand, double check the front io panel connection. You might have place the reset button to the power connection

Same for me lol. I actually just skipped that part and was thinking of going giving it to someone to check other power supplies (thought that was the issue). And then i saw your comment and tried it. I thought no way it would be that simple plus i didn’t really see any dark spots on the ram but tried anyway with eraser and cotton ear things to remove the eraser. Thanks to the Mac and to you for commenting !!

same for me hahaha. First i didn’t think it’d ‘ve worked, but after trying it my pc turned on and i was like omg. Btw thx

[@InspectorSplatter]

Thanks so much! I was worried asf thinking my computer was broken but in reality just needed a cleanup (haven’t cleaned it since July 2018 when I got it) . After I cleaned it up it stopped restarting but randomly wouldn’t boot to windows and I opened BIOS and was able to boot windows from there and it updated an restarted my pc and everything seems fine now. Guess this was a wake up call to why I should take care of my computer better.

@@MacCoyzkie so I recently got a virus on my PC so I hard reset it to whipe all my data then my PC just kept turning on and off so I tried the ram method and that didn't work is it possible that the virus messed up my entire PC or am I missing something

[@MacCoyzkie]

@@hello-4503 i think the only pc component that a virus can destroy are your drives and if the virus is really potent it could also destroy your motherboard. I haven't heard of a virus destroying the processor, gpu and rams. In your case you could never get to backup your files and the only solution is have a clean installation of windows. On the other hand, also consider the solutions in this video before doing a clean installation of windows

[@MacCoyzkie]

@Tray if there is any that is a bit scary but i haven't experience something like that and hopefully will never experience it. Also i doubt that this is possible since motherboard bios are different from each manufacturer and there is no way a virus could download the latest bios for a specific motherboard, run it and shut itself down to destroying the motherboard. Plus i don't think flashing bios using your boot drive is possible, it needs to be in a specific usb port (with "flash bios" indication) to update a bios at least for the motherboards of 2021

Very important: I just had this problem and even more lot of times the pc was starting but no display at all, sometimes boot loop. I checked the cpu and I noticed there was some green plasticky residues on the contacts pads, I removed them with a needle and this probably solved the problem. I say probably because I did this few minutes ago but I believe it will work fine now because every pin on the cpu has different functions and those residues were probably causing current interruptions between cpu and motherboard.

[@MacCoyzkie]

i wonder where those green plasticky came from, anyway thanks for sharing bro! this might also be helpful to others who might experience it.

[@NikStrengthCoach]

@@MacCoyzkie my pleasure, I really don’t understand how is it possible that some residues could form under the cpu, it looks like some kind of insulating enamel used on motherboards or maybe thermal compounds..I hope this can help someone because I almost sent gpu and motherboard to tech assistance.

What a clear teaching!!! .. Sometimes my pc starts when I turn on psu but next time it doesn't until I press power button. And it sometimes restarts 3/4 times unsuccessfully trying to boot but next time it doesn't restart. Any help?

[@MacCoyzkie]

just a theory, this might be your power outlet fluctuating. try using avr or ups to confirm. If you already have those and still having the same problem then i think this is a broken psu or not working properly

[@driftingmelodies]

@@MacCoyzkie I don't have ups. I shifted to a new place where electric voltage is very low and fluctuates. Since then this issue started. But I have a very goos Corsair psu connected to my smart invertor that acts as ups for power back up.. Isn't that enough? Is ups a must have?

@@MacCoyzkie also I chaged psu to check if it's bad. But same issue . And actually with main power turned off, I switched on ups mode in my smart invertor and powered pc through solar battery. Same issue.. I just found that My cpu processor is 70 c temperature at idle state. Could that be the culprit?

[@MacCoyzkie]

@@driftingmelodies yes! cpu at 70c in idle is not normal. either your thermal paste is not good or old so time for re-paste. Anyway your psu is fine, if your area has a very unstable power you better at least use an avr like this amzn.to/3iOgECa

depends on what thermal paste you use, if you use the pre-applied thermal paste whether be in amd or intel i suggest change it after 6 months else it will become too hard like epoxy specially the amd paste.

For extra fun, I'm running into a self-correcting, intermittent boot loop. System will hold at 60-70°C under sustained 100% loads on the CPU and GPU.

[@devinem24]

Wether or not I get a response, I dont know but worth the shot. Had this problem where suddenly my pc shut itself on, even did the "shutting down" screen. Turned it back on, and after a little while of running again it turned off again. Then, it did the constant off and on rebooting. I talked with a friend who is pretty knowledgeable about computers and he came over to check it out. Long story short, we checked a few different things eventually resulting in taking out one of the ram sticks, then swapping to check the other which got the computer to boot up normally. Used it for some time, updated and played a couple games and everything seemed okay, so figured maybe one of the ram sticks wasn't good. Came home from work today and noticed the ssd light was on which isn't normally on when the computer is powered off normally which I did the night before. So, back to square one, I searched and found this video. Tried the first few steps and after seeing the bit about cleaning the ram sticks I figured that made sense as messing with them seemed to make a difference previously. Did that, tried both at the same time, 1 at a time and swapping them 1 at a time and still no progress. Curious if anyone maybe sees this comment if they could have anymore input as to what other thing to try. I can still check other components but I'm quite positive based on what happened previously, it has something to do with the ram. Thanks in advance for any comments

[@MacCoyzkie]

if you already clean the ram sticks the way it was suggested in the video and still doesn't work, i suggest try those ram sticks in your friend's pc and see how it goes. If it worked normally after some tests then this could be a motherboard ram slot issue, maybe hardware or it just needed dust cleaning. Obviously if your friend's pc with your ram sticks didn't work then that could be your ram sticks.

[@devinem24]

@@MacCoyzkie appreciate the reply. and that is a pretty damn good idea, ill deffinately give that a shot, but was also thinking about the possibility of a slot not working (i have 8 on my motherboard though so plenty to choose from lol).

@@MacCoyzkie UPDATE: Ordered a power supply test kit to try to do what i can before assuming an expensive part is a problem and buying it without knowing for sure. plugged it in and all numbers seemed good. plugged the 24 pin cable back in and tried starting the computer again. started fine. about 30 minutes later it shut down (with shut down screen and all) and went back to the turning itself on and off as was happening before. so, did the same process again, plugged the 24 pin into tester, numbers were good, plugged the 24 pin back into motherboard and it started normally again. so, my question now, is do we think that would be a cable problem, a connection problem, or maybe a motherboard issue, as i no longer think it is the power supply or ram sticks.

[@MacCoyzkie]

@@devinem24 if there is anything it is the motherboard or you could also consider outlet power if you had power fluctuation in your area. since we already come to this, can you try testing out the pc without the case? i mean place the motherboard on its box and test it all outside the case because this might be shorted inside the case

nice bro! glad it worked for you, you're welcome and thanks too for the feedback

[@rizzen0248]

Guys I know how to fix it. If reseating the ram doesn't work use a screwdriver, make sure the power supply is still plugged in but turn the switch off, press the power button a few times to make sure its off. Hold the screwdriver on the 2 pins sticking out where it says CMOS on the motherboard usually on the lower right or left for 15 seconds then try to turn it back on. I was getting a boot loop for 5 hours tried literally everything re-seating ram, everything.... and this is the only thing that worked.

[@MacCoyzkie]

Some motherboard has those 2 pin but some don’t, removing the cmos battery may also do the trick

@@MacCoyzkie bro I had another doubt my ram is of 2400 mhz 8gb and in my pc it’s only showing me 2133mhz how to change it to 2400 mhz . Can we overclock a ram of 2400 into 3200mhz is it safe ?? Or at least to 2400 mhz

[@MacCoyzkie]

@@xiyaan__syed go to bios and look for the xmp/docp button. most motherboard nowadays have a single button overclock for ram sticks. just click one of those and save and exit bios.

Dude you are a freakin LEGEND!! My PC has been MIA for about 4 months now & I’ve been putting off fixing it cus I was reluctant to spend anymore money on a build that already went way over my budget. I watched the first 30 seconds and did what you said. Did the old ‘Nintendo cartridge blow’ on my Ram sticks and put them back in fully expecting nothing to happen. A few seconds later I’m listening to the quiet hum of my fans and seeing the bright flashes of LED that decorate my PC’s interior. You sir… are HIM. 🫡

guys if these steps doesnt work that means your motherboard is short or the pins on the back side of the motherboard are making contact with the metal plate or something conductive. Eliminate any contact of the motherboard with the conductive material and try again it worked for me.

[@MacCoyzkie]

i've seen this many times with my clients pcs, usually some random screws

[@EyeOfMonsoon]

hey I just swapped my psu recently (evga 750w to Thermaltake gf3 1000w) along with new gpu installation (for 4090 install) and then later some ssds (m2 and sata SSD). My mobo is aorus z690 pro on f21 with 12700kf; Kingston fury 5200 32gb. The PC has been shutting off fine with previous psu and has been working for about 2 weeks with new PSU before the latest installation of new hard drives. However, after I turned off everything to install the new m2 and SSD, my PC has been having shutdown issues. The issue: my PC constantly turns back on after shutting down (shutdown /p, front panel etc) (double checked f_panel connections). I've turned off all the fast boot/wake on lan software things and it still boots up after a shutdown. I can still put PC to sleep and but the only way to shut off PC is holding the front power for 5s. I've tried removing all peripherals (usbs etc) and booted into safe mode and nothing helps - the PC just turns on after shutting down. Otherwise, the PC works fine and there are no issues at all. What else can I do to troubleshoot? Is it really a psu issue or perhaps mobo/and or front panel? I am running out of ideas. Thanks in advance.

[@MacCoyzkie]

if you're in windows 11 that is the issue since it has a lot of graphics issues. if you're in windows 10 try to DDU the current gpu driver kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaese5uZrb-HqaM because this might have something to do with the previous gpu driver. now if the problem is the same after doing so this might have something to do with the new psu. check it by using one of these kzbin.infoYrC3PlflLq0

[@shalamigri]

PLEASE READ UPDATE BELOW FOR SOULTION THAT ENDED UP FIXING THIS ISSUE FOR ME!!! (initial post) From my most recent experience with a PC that would reboot, I learned that the easiest thing to do before you start looking into the hardware is to first look at certain drivers. I had a PC that would reboot periodically while gaming. I thought I had an issue with my CPU cooler. I replaced it with a better cooler, but that didn't fix the problem. What I did was download a monitoring software called HWinfo and GPU/CPU load testing program called Cupid Powermax. I would first start the monitoring process with HWinfo and then start load testing the CPU. As soon as I started the test for the GPU, my PC would reboot. This happened every time I ran both load test together. My first guess was that I had an issue with the graphics card, but I decided to uninstall the drivers and then reinstall them. That seems to have fixed the rebooting issue. I'm not sure if I had corrupt drivers or not, but my guess is that a Windows update may have caused this issue a while back with their last big update. UPDATE!! What actually ended up fixing the issue was to reinstall Windows 10. That was many months ago and the issue hasn't even happened again.

It’s so weird my pc restarts randomly Unless I’m playing a game then it stays on just fine. I don’t know if that means anything, it’s just odd to me. I have replaced power supply that didn’t work. I have taken ram out and put back in(I haven’t tried the eraser thing which I will do today) I have checked for overheating as well. Anyway thanks for the video I will try all of the options in the video that I haven’t tried yet and see if I can fix it. I’m praying it’s not a motherboard issue! 🤞

[@MacCoyzkie]

i think your pc is fine even with your old psu, also it's weird that restarts happens on desktop tasks. This is just a theory but there might be a random program on your system tray or start up that is running that is causing the restart after update or something. This happened to me long time ago and i just simply disable then uninstalled. try checking your task manager>processes and see if there is any program causing so much use of your cpu/memory/gpu

[@Brimaries]

Mac Coyzkie thanks for the reply. I will try that and see if possibly it is just a program causing a high cpu usage. But yea I agree it’s very odd lol.

​@@keeper5024 temps are going beyond the limit for the gpu. Usually happens in triple A games. I suggest lower your settings a bit, use msi afterburner to check the temps, open your pc case during gaming.

[@keeper5024]

Mac Coyzkie sadly it’s not the temperature, it doesn’t even reach 70 whenever I try to play cod however tho i did put a framerate limit and that somehow fixed the issue but i still think there’s something wrong with my motherboard because i just brought my 2000 dollar pc and it hasn’t been a week yet since all the parts arrived
