My desktop will only boot after I reset the CMOS battery and BIOS by taking it out for a few minutes, putting it back in and turning the PC on.
My pc last worked well about three days ago when it randomly turned off, and wouldn't boot afterwards. The only thing I did to it before that was the night before I cleaned out the old thermal paste and reseated the cpu as it was getting hot. I played games on it that night and everything was working well and not hitting high temps on anything.
I have tried everything: Only booting with Mobo and CPU to check for ram beeps which checked out fine, got a new CMOS battery which did not help, checked the PSU with the paperclip method which checked out fine (fans on the PSU span up). I noticed that the only time the system would boot is when I took out the CMOS battery and then it would boot to a screen saying something like the bios settings have been reset. F1 to enter setup F2 to continue. If i navigate to the bios I can change settings but once I save and reboot the pc will black screen again and not actually save the settings (duh, to get back in I have to reset the CMOS). If I continue it boots into windows normally, if not a little slow. I managed to re install windows by taking out the battery every time the pc would restart and letting windows continue but that did nothing. I have also completely re-built the system and I am at my wits end here. I cant tell if its my psu going bad or my mobo or what.
Specs:
Motherboard: MSI H61M-P33(B3)
GPU: GTX 1050Ti which I have hardly had in as the cmos battery is under where the gpu sits.
CPU Cooler: Stock
CPU: i5 2310
HDD: Seagate 1TB HDD
RAM: DDR3 133mhs generic no brand name on the stick, (sorry)
PSU: 600w TACENS ECO (yeah, i went budget on the psu I know, some unknown brand)
OS: Win 10
DVD writer: LG super multi thing idk
These parts are all used except for the PSU and GPU. Thanks in advance. If you need more info let me know.
