After I’ve been gaming for longish periods of time sometimes my pc will turn itself off and then refuse to turn back on again. I’ve found that taking out the cpu and putting it back in will fix the issue temporarily. Important to note that the computer is build by me and has a 5800x and a asus b550 mobo. Any help would be appreciated
Sounds like a cmos issue, can you try replacing the cmos battery? Someone here had a similar issue a month-ish ago and it was caused by a bad cmos battery on a new motherboard
Do they come with a spare or should I buy one online
You can buy a cmos battery for like $2 at most stores, from certain watches, bike lights, small toys, or you might have a few lying around your house as cmos batteries are usually sold in pairs (make sure it’s the same type as the one I your motherboard and you install it facing the same way the original cmos battery is facing)
Replaced cmos battery and still facing the same thing
