After a power outage , My pc has gone to shit. Sometimes my computer uses 4gb and sometimes it uses 8gb (Rarely).
After researching a lot for solutions , I've been using the "holding the power button for 15 seconds" trick for my PC. Well , Sometimes it does work and fixes my computer back to use 8gb / 2 sticks of my ram. (sometimes it doesn't work).
Then after a day or two my pc crashes and once it works again it ALWAYS goes back and uses 1 stick of RAM (4gb) and my pc never crashes from there.
Another thing , Everytime my PC crashes and it doesn't work again. What I mean in "it doesn't work" , I mean the PC doesn't boot at all. Not the Windows startup , Not even the Motherboard startup and not even the gpu startup happens. JUST BLACKNESS. No signal from my keyboard and none in my Monitor , It just goes back to power saving mode.
I've been looking for the problem for about 2-3 months already.
Here's what I think :
1. Mobo is fried.
2. Bad Ram sticks.
3. The fan thing is too dirty? Haven't cleaned it in 4 months. I think my pc overheats and crashes , but does it explain my RAM going half?
