Hey everyone! I have a weird issue that cropped up when I moved back into my dorm after winter break (so around 7 weeks now... I've been busy lol). Whenever I try to power on my system the lights, fans, and the rest all wake for a split second then everything plunges back into darkness. The issue is extremely consistent--it happens every single time I press the power button. Pressing it again just does the same thing. I have to hold the button down for around a second for the computer to actually maintain power.
The process goes like this:
press power button > everything springs to life (for around half a second) > everything dies (RGB components turn off immediately) > graphics card PCI-E power connector fault lights all turn on and persist for 3-ish seconds as they slowly fade out > press power button again > exact same thing happens > HOLD power button > exact same thing at first, but then BOOM: she's awake. computer boots like nothing was awry.
Nothing changed between moving my computer from my home to my dorm besides removing then reinstalling my graphics card for transport. I even buckled my desktop in the back seat with a seatbelt and set it on a blanket to prevent transport trauma.
I'm really not sure what the cause of this issue is, hence the General Hardware category. I suspect some issue with the power button's debouncing timer, but why?? How? Would that even cause the computer to shut back down like this? So, power supply issue? Motherboard? Case... firmware? (do they have that?)
Note: my power supply (Corsair RM850x SHIFT) arrived beaten up in shipping through Best Buy's genius idea to tape two smaller boxes together rather than find one larger box that would actually fit it inside? I never had any issues with the power supply, and I still don't under load, but maybe some component involved in the power on process was damaged in the recent transport process.
Appreciate yall
