Problem:
First of all, this is my first pc build ever. I built this pc and it booted and ran perfectly for a few days. Then, out of nowhere, I go to boot it up one day and the CPU light is on for the ez debug lights and wont boot. I researched a little and messed around with booting with one stick of ram and after a long time of moving ram, re plugging everything, and turning the thing on and off again, it magically worked and when it booted that time it said that I reset the bios (I don't know how I did that). I should also note that the second day of my computer being built I noticed my ram was only running at 2133 which I see is very common without changing in the bios so I turned on an XMP profile and put it up to 2900 or 2933 I forget what the option was. I also left the voltage on auto. After the bios reset I did not do this again I have left everything at default. That was about three days ago now and every day since then on my first boot, cpu light comes on so I hold the power button to turn it off, press it again to turn on, and it boots. Now today I go to boot it up and CPU light is on and will not boot no matter how many times I've restarted. I talked to a friend and he told me to reseat the cpu and check for any damage to it so I ordered thermal paste so I can do that. I'm kinda stuck and don't know what to do, thanks for your help guys.

Update: 10 minutes later after typing this post while my pc sat running with the cpu light on I decided to turn it off, flip the switch on the power supply to cut the power, waited a few minutes, flipped back on, turned on the pc and the cpu light came on as normal on the first boot, so I turned it off and on again, (didn't cut the power this time) and it booted up. Very odd I have no clue what is wrong with my pc.
