Hello, and thank you for your time, I'll jump right in !
I built my computer about 2-3 years ago, and never had a serious problem with it. However, since a few months, when playing games my PC randomly shut down. I had a good enpugh build, my PSU seemed to have enough power, and everything was well cooled and below critical temperatures. Only this time, it wouldn't reboot :
-Asus logo along with "Press del to enter BIOS"
-JMicron error, saying no drives detected (displayed for 0.5s) shown in spoiler
-Same Asus screen, but frozen, and couldn't enter bios or any boot menu
And the mobo's BOOT_DEVICE_LED is solid red the whole time, still to this day.
I could tell it was a HDD issue, so I unplugged them all, which hid the JMicron error notice and enabled me to get into BIOS. I then followed a forum post and, in the BIOS, set "JMB storage OPROM" to disabled but since the HDDs were not plugged in, could not set a different booting order or such.
After disabling this parameter, I plugged back the HDDs and the error didn't show up, but the Asus screen was still frozen.
This is everything I tried :
-Booting with one working HDD with OS from other PC
-Tried booting with RAM stick n°1 alone and n°2 alone, on two different slots
-Tried booting with GPU unplugged
-Clear RTC and removing/putting back the battery
A lot of other people seem to have this issue, but every situation is different and their solution wasn't mine...
