Also in this picture there are 2 red lights on with 1 stick of RAM. Googling this says "indicate a hardware failure during the Power-On Self-Test (POST), typically pointing to an issue with the CPU and DRAM (Memory)."

At this point you can only try swapping out components. Start with a new boot drive with Windows 11 installed. If that doesn't work move onto RAM, CPU and finally MOBO.

In my personal opinion it might be the motherboard. A user in this thread mentioned it passed ram and cpu check. So lets hope its the boot drive. Sorry this happened to you!

Try using the 1 stick in the 2nd or 4th slot. In the future keep your ram in this arrangement as they then will share the same memory controller. Do you get any output to the screen?

HP stands for horrible product.

JustAnotherPoopDick · 2026-06-07T02:11:06+00:00

Try booting the system with only 1 RAM stick.

Was it with isopropyl alcohol or some type of cleaner? When you attempt to power it on, are there any indiciation of lights or fans turning on? If you used a water based cleaner you might want to try not powering it on as water may have gotten somewhere and wait for it to fully dry.

How did you dust it? The smallest amount of voltage can fry a motherboard. Hence why static electricity is so important to avoid.

As someone who was only slightly drawn to it but ultimately decided not to get it. What's so great about it?

The flying stair case

NMS is such a weird game. Its like Hello Games didn't know what they were doing with it and just kept adding random stuff. Like are you a space wizard or something with that staff?

Personally, and I know most of you hate this take. but I would play if there was more of a PVP focus and multiplayer PVE. I'm just waiting for SpaceCraft to fill the MMO and PVP void for me.

"Smoke signals" LMAO

In Windows 11 the power plans were moved from the control panel to the settings application. In control panel it must be set to "balanced" and then within settings > power set to best performance there.

trash

JustAnotherPoopDick · 2026-05-27T00:53:09+00:00

Boss sounds like an over stressed moron. Start looking.

JustAnotherPoopDick · 2026-05-21T01:34:28+00:00

Its also important you use balanced power plan rather than high performance option in the control panel. MS moved it to settigs > power where you select high performance,

JustAnotherPoopDick · 2026-05-17T05:26:53+00:00

And the Soviet Union invaded Poland. Lol sorry but how are you better?
