Hey all, I’m in dire need of some help. Up until today, my pc was working completely fine since October of 2023. However, today something happened that makes no sense to me. I woke up, booted my pc like normal. Then decided I wanted to go into bios and look at some different settings. However, when I tried to go the the bios, it never posted after 10+ minutes. So I turned my pc off and on again. Then this is where my issue started. Now my pc will not post at all. No display when it boots. The motherboard led lights are going in this order Orange(Ram) Red(CPU) White(VGA) Then green. After this sequence the green and white light continue to stay on. I have tried everything from reseating my GPU, my ram, checking all cable connecting. Removing CMOS battery and reinstalling it. The same problem still persists. I do not know what to do. I’m terribly afraid about this whole situation because I do not have the money to replace anything. And I never had this issue til I tried one time to go into bios.

PC specs
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GTX 1060 6GB
T Force 32GB 3600mhz ram
Asus Prime B550 Plus Motherboard
Corsair RM 750e power supply.

In addition to that asked by Peter, what did you change.

It is not as simple as that as the system holds enough charge to keep the BIOS chip powered which in turn stores any bad settings that have been saved.

How to do it properly is explained below.

The RAM is not appropriate for your CPU, AMD state here up to 3200MHz/MT/s and if you have DOCP/EXPO/XMP enabled the RAM will get auto OCd past what the CPU can handle and the PC will become unstable.

The following requires the computer case to be opened so take the following safety precautions 1st, disconnect the power cord from the wall socket, press the case power button for twenty seconds or so to get rid of any residual charge in the system, take anti static precautions before touching anything inside, you can do this by touching a bare metal part of the case or PSU.

Again press the case power button for twenty seconds or so to be sure.

Remove and leave out for as long as possible the CMOS battery, overnight is best.

Reinsert the CMOS battery.

Attach the screen to the GPU, the keyboard and the power cord to the wall socket.

Power up with your fingers crossed.
