• Intel i5-13400F
• Gigabyte B760M DS3H DDR5
• Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 16GB 5600
• ASUS Dual RTX 4060
• Gigabyte P650G 650W Gold PSU

Since almost brand new, the PC has had an intermittent issue: after power outages or sudden power loss, it stops posting and shows the DRAM debug LED on the motherboard. When this happens, the RAM RGB does not turn on at all. Sometimes it can recover after clearing CMOS or reseating components, but most of the time it only works again after being fully disconnected/disassembled for several hours or overnight.

Already tested:

• CMOS battery removal/reset
• full power discharge
• RAM reseated in different slots
• minimal hardware configuration
• full disassembly/reassembly

Debug LEDs cycle through CPU/VGA/DRAM and usually end stuck on DRAM. The issue has progressively worsened over time.

I suspect the media I uploaded to the mini pc using WinSCP caused it to stop posting after I tried rebooting it, though it shouldn't have mattered since I was adding them to a connected external drive.

The computer now does not post at all, though the power light, the red ThinkCentre light, and fans were working.

No beeps were heard to produce any error codes.

I think my only option currently is to remove the CMOS battery and see what happens, but I am running out of ideas here.

I've also experienced "Download failed" errors when trying to download drivers directly. I have an installation log from a failed driver attempt that I'm looking to analyze.

What could cause both the boot loops and the intermittent device disconnects? Is there anything specific I should look for in the installation log?

Drive Health: C: (89% Good), D: (99% Good). GPU: GTX 1080 Ti.

Steps already tried:

- Clean Windows install (Cloud reinstall)

- DDU for GPU drivers

- SFC /scannow and DISM commands

- Checked drive health with CrystalDiskInfo (both Good)

- Attempted driver/BIOS updates (failed download)

كنت أستخدم الجهاز عادي، وبعدها طفيته ونظفته من الغبار بالسشوار على الهواء البارد، بس من الخارج وبين المراوح، وما فكيت أي أسلاك أو لعبت بأي قطعة داخلية، غير إني فكيت الرام ورجعتها مكانها.

علمًا إنها مش أول مرة أنظف الجهاز، ونظفته قبل هيك بنفس الطريقة أكثر من مرة وما صار أي مشكلة.

بعد ما شغلت الجهاز:

- المراوح والإضاءة شغالين طبيعي

- لكن الشاشة ما أعطت أي صورة

- الكيبورد والماوس ما اشتغلوا ولا أضويتهم اشتغلت

- والرام كمان ما ضوت مثل العادة

جرّبت أطفيه وأشغله أكثر من مرة، وفكيت الرام وركبتها أكثر من مرة، ولسه نفس المشكلة.

شو بتتوقعوا يكون السبب؟ وهل المشكلة من الرام، المذربورد، أو في حل أقدر أعمله بالبيت؟

اللي عنده خبرة يفيدني، وشكرًا 🙏

“WARNING! BIOS Recovery mode has been detected. Please put the file “CM6870.CAP" into HDD or a removable USB media device, and then reset your computer. You can also insert ASUS Support CD to your CD-ROM and reset your computer. If you have done these, please wait a moment and don't shutdown system!!! System will be automatically rebooted.”

I'm really confused because I can't seem to find anywhere to download “CM6870.CAP”, and I don't know what the ASUS Support CD is referring to. I got this computer from a friend a few years ago and this was very sudden. I really don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated.
