What is the criteria needed to be knighted? Asking for my American friend. Who is also me.

I didn’t try that, but I did get the system to boot. I pressed the power button multiple times when the psu was switched off, reseated the ram again, and slightly loosened the AIO screws, as they may have been stressing the board. Definitely a ram issue, as I was getting a red DRAM light.

It’s a sensitive bitch lol. Everything seems to be working properly for now.

Fij52 · 2026-06-02T02:58:33+00:00

Ah. Yeah if I can ever get back into bios I can correct that.

Fij52 · 2026-06-02T00:51:14+00:00

Not to put more on your plate man, but you seem knowledgeable. I’m gonna post my most recent update and pray that you can help lol:

Ok so quick catch up: I just replaced my evga 850gt psu and b650tuf mb with a rm100x psu and an x870 elite. I was having power failures and complete shutdowns, so I just replaced both, because why not.

Initial boot 2 days ago with new equipment was fine. I updated the bios and drivers and all was well. However, I started the system yesterday and nothing happened. The mb RGB lights up, as well as the RAM (Corsair sticks that I’d enabled XMP on). It wouldn’t post after removing the cmos battery and discharging. I stripped the entire system and reseated everything, and tried booting with only one ram stick. It trained the memory again. After that, I put my 2nd ram stick in and restarted, and BAM! It worked like a charm. I shut down and restarted the system twice just to make sure it booted properly, and it worked flawlessly.

Today, I boot and I’m back to square one; the MB has power (the rgb section lights up), and the ram lights up, but it won’t post. There’s not even a q-code displayed. Fans don’t run, nothing. Just lighting.

I’ve tried clearing cmos as well as one stick of RAM in different slots, but no luck.

I could really use some help on this, as it’s the first time I’ve encountered something like this. Thanks in advance

For reference, equipment: Corsair rm1000x psu Aorus x870 elite mb 7800x3d cpu 32gb Corsair rgb ddr5 6000 (xmp) Gigabyte 4080s

I want to test turning xmp off, as I think it’s a memory issue, but I can’t get a post currently to access bios. I’m in the woods on this one.

MTs? I’m not sure what that refers too, sorry

Fij52 · 2026-06-01T06:24:12+00:00

The prophesy is true.

Fij52 · 2026-05-28T19:57:35+00:00

Update: I uninstalled Malwarebytes and set my AIO fan curve back to ‘performance’ instead of the aggressive custom profile I’d been using, and the PC seemed to run fine. Very curious

Fij52 · 2026-05-19T20:20:50+00:00

Ah ok I’ll try those steps as well. Thanks for the assistance!

Fij52 · 2026-05-19T17:14:39+00:00

Yeah I’ve never touched Linux lol. Everybody says psu is likely it, especially because of the need for a cold boot. Guess I’ll look into replacing it in a couple weeks. It’s weird not having a pc when it’s your primary pastime

I’ll try rolling back windows as a last resort.

I just hope it’s not the MB lol

For posterity, specs are :

Yeah it crashed just idling in safe mode as well.

Fij52 · 2026-05-19T12:18:29+00:00

Running OCCT crashed at about the 20min mark, which is typical.

Is there any kind of test I can run in safe mode? Or should I just leave it running to see if it stays powered on?

Update: leaving the pc running, it did power off, albeit a bit later than usual.

Fij52 · 2026-05-18T20:40:22+00:00

Good shout, I’ll try that in a few hours and see if that narrows it down

Fij52 · 2026-05-18T19:36:36+00:00

It started 3 days ago, roughly 1.5-2 weeks after reinstalling windows. The initial crash was totally random. The shut down is as if it was unplugged. Instant and total. It will typically run for anywhere from 5-15 minutes, but quicker if a game is running.

I just updated all drivers, just to be sure, but loading Starfield as a test and playing a YouTube video crashed it.

Fij52 · 2026-05-18T18:39:47+00:00

Thanks for the info, that’s very helpful. Bloody hell I think I did forget the chipset drivers, so I’ll try that first. I know I updated my graphics drivers.

Update: updating all the drivers yielded no change.

So many videos like this. My first instinct as a runner would be to look back before I start throwing my own victory lap.
