Hello and thank you to anyone who responds to my issue. I've had my self-built PC for about two years with the following ongoing problem and it has come to a breaking point for me. I have tried to do research on it, but have been unsuccessful in many attempts. Please help!
The main issue that I am having is that when I either turn the computer on or wake it up from sleep, it doesn't want to start up. To be more specific, the computer hardware turns on with the fans and everything running, but nothing appears on screen and no initial boot beep. I have to constantly restart it over and over again to get it to boot up. Sometimes random things will get it to work, like: unplugging the power cord and waiting for reset, removing and reinstalling the memory, and removing USB related peripherals. Also, most of the time when I finally do get it booted up, shortly after it just wants to shut back down.
I will try to list some other related information if it helps. I am happy to provide any additional information if needed.
-Sometimes at boot, a screen will come up stating "overclocking failed" and to go to the BIOS screen, but I don't have my CPU overclocked
-I have to wake it up from sleep using the power buttons. Clicking the mouse or keyboard results in the same running PC with no screen
-Sometimes at boot, the ASUS startup screen will come up and then the screen will go black and I have to wait at least 5 minutes or more for my home screen to appear
-When I finally do manage to get it booted up, it works perfectly fine
-Have tried: reinstalling Windows/different version of Windows, updating BIOS (says it's updated) and numerous other little things
Specs:
MB: ASUS 5ma97 LE R2
CPU: AMD FX-6300
MEM: GSKILL Ripjaws 2x4GB
GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 760
PS: EVGA 600W Bronze
