    PC not booting up


    So my computer is not booting up and the cause is I think the Standard AHCI Controller when I rolledback to it because my Intel AHCI controller is causing some Latency issues and causing popping and crackling audio. I also deleted some greyed out devices including a greyed out disk drive with the same name as mine but i doubt that's the cause of my problem.


    After I rolledback it told me to restart my computer, so I did that then the computer just turns off with fans including cpu fan still spinning, then I tried to remove the cmos battery to reset bios settings but still doesn't work I even replaced it with a new one. I thought it was overheating so I left it and turned it off for about 1 hr and when I power it up, still no display on the screen with all the fans spinning. I plugged it into a wall outlet, didn't do anything, tried to disconnect all other usb devices and just leave the VGA and power, also didn't work, one stick of ram, didn't work, put ram in different slot, didn't work, checked the motherboard for objects that cause it to short, nothing. I'm running out of solutions



    Specs:


    Mobo:ASrock H61M-VS

    CPU:Intel Celeron G550 2.60 Ghz

    Ram: 2 sticks Kingston 2GB and 4 GB DDR3 1066Mhz

    2GB is on slot A1 and 4GB is on slot B1

  3. PC wont boot up (No POST, No Video)

    I recently installed a new Asus M5A99X Evo r2.0. The motherboard green LED lights up and the case and cpu fans spin. But there is no video when its hooked up to my monitor.

    Steps that i have tried:
    "No POST", "system won't boot", and "no video output" troubleshooting checklist

    Made sure all connections are properly connected.

    Flashing the CMOS

    Tested the PSU

    Followed all steps in the user manual

    If there are any links that you guys can point me to or suggestions that could help it would be highly appreciated. Thank you

    PC not booting up

    laptop doesnt boot automatically

    This is what happened.

    1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
    2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
    3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
    4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
    5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
    6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

    I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

    Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
