Hi everyone,
I have been having some issues lately with my PC.
Mainly, 2 things have been occurring:
[strike]
Not sure what else I can test to confirm that it is indeed my motherboard.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G41
UPDATE: Issue #2 has been resolved via BIOS update
UPDATE 2:
After an annoying couple weeks and a bunch of testing, I finally fixed the issue and wanted to post what I did, just in case someone else has a similar issue and needs help.
So a few things happened that led me to figure this out.
After doing this, I have not had any issues starting up properly. I don't know why this just started happening, I never went in and changed anything, perhaps an update did something, but I don't think.
Either way this is how I got everything working properly again.
Thanks to everyone who commented with suggestions!
I have been having some issues lately with my PC.
Mainly, 2 things have been occurring:
1. My computer will turn on (i.e. the LEDs turn on and I hear the fan running), however, other components (Monitors, keyboard, mouse, headset) do not turn on with it. I have to do a hard power off and turn it back on until everything else comes on with it. Sometimes it takes multiple attempts.

2. When I do get it powered on correctly, it will state that I have no internet connection. I made sure the cable was connected properly and even tried a second Ethernet cable. I also made sure my other devices connect, and they all do. I go and right click and do the "Troubleshoot Problems" and it will reset the ethernet port and it fix it immediately.

UPDATE 2:
After an annoying couple weeks and a bunch of testing, I finally fixed the issue and wanted to post what I did, just in case someone else has a similar issue and needs help.
So a few things happened that led me to figure this out.
1. I have an external hard drive that I plugged in while I had the computer working. I shut down my computer and went to turn in back on the next day (with the external hard drive still plugged in) and it told me that an operating system could not be found. From this I realized that it was trying to boot an OS from the external.
2. After realizing that, I went to my boot priority in the BIOS. No where in the priority was my SSD that has my OS on it. Instead it had "UEFI Boot Device" or something similar along with a bunch of other devices that never have a hard drive on them. Not sure why it would work some of the time after a few hard shut downs, but it would every once in a while.
3. After realizing this, I disabled every other priority and only added my SSD with the OS on it.
After doing this, I have not had any issues starting up properly. I don't know why this just started happening, I never went in and changed anything, perhaps an update did something, but I don't think.
Either way this is how I got everything working properly again.
