b450 msi tomahawk turns on for a few seconds and then turns on off again

[Tralalero Tralala]

its been doing this since last night.

for the record i think my mobo is more than 3 years old, gpu and power supply are 5 years old. i think they are all out of warranty

also some red lights flash on the motherboard, the rgb on the mobo turns on as well as the case fans. capacitors look fine on the motherboard

ive tried the following:

disconnecting sata and leaving only one ram stick in

changing power cables.

tried to reset cmos jumper(might try that again)

You'll find on the top right corner of the mobo 4 LEDs. They're labeled CPU, DRAM, VGA and BOOT. If booting is unsucessful, one of them should be lit; indicating at which point the booting process failed.

it looks like all of them are lit tbh. It only lasts for a second though. I also here weird electric noises

i can only turn it on maybe 1/3 times

So you "tried" to reset cmos? Did that fail or something?

Those white rated PSU, you can only trip their protection once, then it's useless. It was probably tripped already and now it's done.

Get at least bronze so you can have more protection trips. For example, my EVGA PSU can trip the protection over and over. There's no limit. White PSU you only get one usually.

by resetting i tried touching the jbat1 pins (as according to the manual) with a screwdriver. not sure that did anything though.

Okay Im guilty for looking at the wrong one. Make sure you don't have the CMOS jumper installed still or make sure it's not on the wrong pins. Usually 1+2 is normal and 2+3 is reset.

Put the ram in a2 and b2. Try a different CMOS battery. Good luck!

Did anything change after that? is it working normally now? Does the pc boot up now?

Turn it off and disconnect it from the wall then pull the battery out for a minute or so (hit the power button a couple times during that off period). Then put it back in and try turning it on?

pc doesnt boot up. 1/3 times (approximately) it turns on for like a second and then it turns off again

ill go try pulling the battery out. How do i remove the battery safely?

Turn off the PC, disconnect it from the wall then pull the battery out.

just use the bios reset jumper

Ok so just to update everything works. I had to replace the power supply and got a nzxt c850 80+ gold power supply from Best Buy

I’ll probably need a new psu anyway if I upgrade to a 40 series gpu
