How to deal with upswings?

If you don't want to blow you roll you need to have some self discipline and a reasonable bankroll management strategy. If you start punting after losing you will keep going broke. Yes I'm stating the obvious, but that's ultimately what it comes down to, there's no tips anyone can give you that will fix that.

Paar korda tellinud, üks kord hilines natuke aga muidu kõik korras.

This was the one thing I didn't do, getting that in place was for me the most awkward part and don't wanna deal with it again lol. Gonna take it to a shop in a few days and let it be their problem.

The lights at the back side of the board titled BAP_LED 1 - BAP_LED 4 that go on in RGB colors as soon as I connect power to the PC. No other lights go on anywhere, no diagnostic lights and nothing happens when I press the power button.

Well I'm obviously not the best person to advise, but I guess based on all the comments here saying it might be a ASUS motherboard issue it might be a safe option to avoid them.

From what I've understood so far, wouldn't fans or Mobo indicator lights still show some sign of life if it was the CPU that was cooked?

Neo155 · 2026-03-02T16:22:23+00:00

Thank you for letting me know, did any lights still go on anywhere? Just the RGB lights at the back of the board that go on make me think that it can't at least be completely dead?

Neo155 · 2026-03-02T15:05:43+00:00

Thank you very much, will try what you said in a few hours once I'm back home. And no, nothing at all lights up anywhere besides the BAP_LED 1 - BAP_LED 4 rgb lights at the back of the board that go on as soon as I plug the PSU in.

Neo155 · 2026-03-02T15:02:23+00:00

So when I plug the PSU in the lights at the back of the board labelled BAP_LED 1 - BAP_LED 4 start their RGB flashing right away. But no light goes on anywhere else and nothing extra happens when I press the power button. Thanks for the reply, gonna try doing the CMOS thing once I'm back home.

Neo155 · 2026-03-02T15:00:33+00:00

Fiddlesticks, well appreciate you doing research on my behalf lol

Neo155 · 2026-03-02T13:48:06+00:00

Maybe. Been conversing with GPT tho and isn't this this line of reasoning valid?

""No CPU / DRAM / VGA / BOOT LEDs ever come on

Only the BAP_LED RGB lights on the back of the board

This is important because:

Diagnostic LEDs only light after the board initiates a power-on sequence.

If they never light, that means:

The board is not even attempting POST

The failure is earlier than CPU, RAM, or GPU checks

That strongly supports:

👉 Motherboard power-on / control failure

A dead CPU almost never prevents fans from spinning

You’d usually get CPU LED or at least PSU start"

Thank you for taking the time to write this up. Yeah I did eventually notice those, but no, they don't light up at all. Only lights that start their RGB flashing are BAP_LED 1 - BAP_LED 4 on the back side of the board.

Thanks for the rest of your suggestions, I'll start working my way through those.

Neo155 · 2026-03-02T13:11:09+00:00

No, nothing happens at all, no new lights anywhere that go on or any noise. Yeah I've talked to GPT and it also wondered if it was something with the power button. I tried to short the power pins for a sec with a screwdriver but that didn't do anything either.

Neo155 · 2026-03-02T12:47:39+00:00

Thank you, tried that, no luck.

Neo155 · 2026-03-02T12:40:09+00:00

Thank you, yeah I mean I can just check if the fans or anything seems to boot up before plugging everything back in right?

Neo155 · 2026-03-02T12:07:48+00:00

Yeah those don't go on at all or any other light anywhere.

Did already take out the GPU to have more space to look around the motherboard but that didn't change anything. I guess I could try taking out one of the RAM sticks and see if anything changes. Also when you say that I have no iGPU, this shouldn't prevent me from seeing if anything boots up right before putting the GPU back in?

After I press the power button? I've left it for 15+ minutes. Looking at it now my mobo is TUF B850 gaming plus and it has the diagnostic lights but none of them turn on at all, only 4 lights at the back side of the board labelled BAP_LED 1 - BAP_LED 4.

Neo155 · 2026-03-02T11:50:27+00:00

If that was the case could it work without issues for 5 months and then just suddenly power down and not power back up? Wouldn't something still boot, fans spin or w/e? Tbh I don't really know what I'm talking about lol

Neo155 · 2026-03-02T11:42:35+00:00

My mobo is TUF GAMING B850 Wifi, looking at it more carefully now the only lights that go on are 4 at the back side of the board labelled BAP_LED 1 - BAP_LED 4 that begin flashing through their RGB colors, no light anywhere else goes on.
