    If the update resetted your bios, it might be that it also reset PCIe compatibility to 4.0 instead of 3.0. Because PCIe 4.0 is more finicky on timings and you have the long riser cable the timings were off and thats why you didn't get any VGA signal.

    A CMOS Checksum error is a conflict between the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) and BIOS (Basic Input Output System) that happens when you boot up a computer. It occurs when the computer isn't able to read startup information or the data does not match up.
    In this guide, we explain what causes a CMOS Checksum error and offer instructions for troubleshooting and fixing the problem.
    Motherboard with CMOS battery
    Causes of CMOS Checksum Errors
    There are several potential reasons for a CMOS checksum error, but almost all come back to the information on the CMOS being corrupt for one reason or another.
    Before an operating system boots, the computer's motherboard handles many lower-level tasks, preparing the system components to run and eventually handing those tasks off to the operating system. The software on the motherboard is called the BIOS. In addition to booting up a computer, the BIOS contains several settings for its hardware, like speeds, voltages, system time, and boot priorities. The BIOS settings aren't saved on the hard drive. They're on a chip called the CMOS.
    Whenever you make changes to the BIOS settings, start your computer up, or shut it down, those events are written to the CMOS. It keeps track of the data to make sure that things run normally the next time you start the computer. The CMOS stays on while the rest of the computer is off because it's powered independently by a watch battery. When the computer starts, it reads the state it was last in from the CMOS. Usually, it can read the information and restore itself without an issue. A CMOS Checksum error occurs when the computer isn't able to read that information.
    One of the more common causes of a checksum error is also the simplest to solve. The battery that powers the CMOS is a watch battery, and it can run out of power. When the battery is dead, the CMOS can't store information anymore.
    Power surges and sudden losses of power are other causes. If a computer doesn't have a chance to write information to the CMOS before it's abruptly powered off, it has a hard time picking up where it left off. Power surges can also cause corruption or hardware damage.
    The final cause is less common, but it can happen. If the BIOS is damaged or corrupted, it will cause a mismatch between the BIOS and CMOS. It's uncommon but possible for a virus to infect and corrupt the BIOS. Still, it's more common that a BIOS update failed or the operating system updated

    I work as a computer repair technician, but I can't say that I know what is happening, especially since I am not there to go through it, but I can give you some food for thought.
    What was the common denominator in every situation where you tested and got the CMOS error or post error? What part that is replacable did you not replace?
    Was there some sort of PCI driver issue that caused a communication problem within the hardware somewhere?
    Did you replace every replaceable part separately (replace the CPU and then keep everything else the same, if that doesn't work, put back the old CPU and replace the GPU, so on and so forth)?
    From the sounds and looks of it, you tested and replaced all the hardware, but if you didn't it could be something to do with the SSD, the CMOS battery, or the RAM, as those were the only things that I don't think I saw you replace.
    If you have tested all the hardware (replacing them one by one while keeping all other parts original) then most likely something happened with the Windows Update that caused a software issue somewhere. I've come across a lot of different situations where the most reliable fix has been just to reinstall Windows. I have also found that some machines (especially some laptops) tend to just not work well with Windows 10 or Windows 11 depending on the machine. I would say the best bet for your issue though is that there was some sort of software issue that was causing a communication error between parts.
    Love your videos! Hope this helps!

    It is soooo nice to finally see a video of someone struggling like I always do when I build a PC. In the videos everything normally goes perfectly while I end up in sending back and forth parts.And unlike you, I don't have a nice contact at Asus that sends me a new board, or a new processor because I can't afford it. And then the most annoying part is, when you see people writing smart ass comments assuming you are dumb and did the most basic stuff wrong.
    Well I am about to build a new PC, I am crosschecking compatability with all the parts before I even order anything, and I am not going to do extreme tweaking with weird custom cables. Let's hope that for once, I will have a nice PC build.

    I’m 70 years old and have done my fair share of PC building from C64 and BBC days until present. So many problems solved and mystery ones not solved but JST started working again. I’m retired now and I’m just about to try building my new wall mounted PC. I love the challenges it brings and sense of achievement. Well done for persevering.
    I’m an ex airline captain and as such we have to be ready for any problems in the air with no one to step in and help, the 4-500 lives on board count on us and no amazon next day delivery at 40k feet. Well done my friend, you did and enjoy your new home with your family

    CMOS error occurs when the computer isn't able to read startup information or the data does not match up.
    My guess is maybe either cpu ram or data cables
    I know you said it’s not motherboard but I think it’s still a possibility

    Perhaps change your PCI-E lane in the Bios from Gen-4 to Gen-3. The bios will automatically try to run the 3080 at Gen 4, however if the PCI riser cable is not to correct standard it won't boot properly. Even though it is supposed to be a Gen-4 riser cable, some of them aren't very good and still only work as Gen-3. Try run Gen-3 and I think it will work.

    Edd trying using the windows start-up repair tool... it may at the very least detect if there's something wrong during the start-up process. And also update all your drivers especially ssd drivers and chech if there are any pending windows updates. And also get a brand new cmos battery and after installing the new battery wait a few minutes before powering on so that the power capacitor have enough time to clear themselves. And also check if you have the latest bios update. And also consider getting a higher voltage power supply as seen in the video that when connected the 750 watts power supply you only had your keyboard and mouse attached but your main step has more peripherals and fans attached to it so it could be a insufficient power problem. And also check if TPM and secureboot are enabled.

    Might ahve had too much strain on the riser cable it's self, which may have caused one of the leads to break. That strain may have been coincidental to the windows update to Win 11. I doubt that had anything to do with it. I recommend taking a multi meter to that riser cabled and orienting it in different ways to see if you get good continuity end to end. That should help verify this theory. I don't know anything about the riser cable brand, but they might have had bad materials in manfacturing or they themselves at fault for buy sub standard material or providing a process and quality assurance path that should reduce your buyers confidence in dealing with them in the future.

    I would take a guess and say it’s your ram. I had almost the same problem it wouldn’t post for the life of me. After some research and contemplating life I changed the ram from 32 to 16 just cuz and it worked later I found that windows 11 had some issues with DDR5. Hope your pc doesn’t fail again.

  • @felixkremer7773

    In one of the tests, the display port cable was plugged in on the motherboard instead of the GPU. If iGPU is disabled in BIOS or display output preferences are set to GPU first, the screen may come blank.

    With the 2080 the BIOS flash process *completed*. I think I read somewhere that Windows updates can cause that problem.
    There might be something wrong with one of your cables of the motherboard connectors (flaky connection), or maybe you
    have a bad power supply/glitches on the mains. These problems interact.

    I recently had an issue where I was getting random BSOD's. All the forum posts suggested ICue software but disabling it resulted in other random crashes, my USB devices would randomly disconnect or crash in device manager. This went on for months, fresh Win 10 install, Win 11 install still repeated random crashes, if my monitor went to sleep it would crash. After trying everything I could possibly think of I noticed one thing in HWInfo my power reporting was at 75%..My psu was going bad replaced it with a new PSU and BAM all those weird issues disappeared like magic. I was losing my mind over trying to figure out the issue.

    I have exactly the same problem as you. For me, after restarting Cmos it gets better and after a few days this problem appears again. I will try reinstalling windows and changing the ssd, but I also doubt that the Gpu is responsible for this problem. The fact that there is a video signal and it works fine in games does not eliminate the possibility of a Gpu failure

  • @grizzleebair
    @grizzleebair 2 года назад

    The guy below is probably right about the RAM issue. Before I read that I thought maybe you were having same issue I was. What happened to me was that I had an Asus ROG MoBo too and the first BIOS that said it was Win 11 ready, while it was it did not have some TPM items, and a few other settings that need to be changed, turned on by default in the BIOS so it would not boot. As we know, you need TPM enabled for Win 11. I put it back to Win 10, waited until 2 or 3 BIOS' later and tried again as the TPM items were now toggled on by default, and the BIOS was really Win 11 ready, finally. If you can get into the BIOS and turn them on, or wait for a BIOS with them on by default, then all should be good. (Note, the first Win 11 ready BIOS did not boot if you loaded Optimized Defaults either, which usually works, but this turned off certain TPM settings too. The newer BIOS' Optimized Defaults turns them on). I was kind of bummed because one reason I like Asus MoBo's is their BIOS'.

    Hey, I just want to say I love your videos and I want to say thank you for this mini series. By some odd chance my computer died while this series was going on, starting with me upgrading my cpu cooler and I accidentally jabbed my m.2 killing it. I buy a new refurbished one, only to find that it was 250 gb and the person who sold it to best buy to be refurbished and sold, conned them. I then and went and bought a new m.2 from best buy, and downloaded windows 10 thinking I was out of the woods. Only to find that after 2 days of use windows had a blue screen of death. So I downloaded another fresh windows 10, but again after 2 days of use it died. I was hopeless until my uncle who has been helping me throughout all of it, suggested I should reseat my ram because that's what could cause windows not to work. Now my pc finally works, and a day after I fixed it you uploaded this video. These videos inspired me to keep trying, and I thank you again for making me feel like I'm not alone and giving me motivation. Love your work!

    Don't know if you're using the 12pin with a jumper still, but I was told it's best to use separate cables off of the PSU to each split. The Power spikes on 30 series can cause instability in the jumper config.

    I had a simillar issue when I was enableing TPM 2.0 in BIOS while WIN 11 was installed, and I tryed everything and after like 2 weeks of search I got an Idea to put in CPU with integrated graphics in and I did and it booted normally, then I flashed bios through bios options instead of direct bios flash through motherboard and it worked, now it works normaly with my main CPU and Displayport attached to GPU. Before all of this I also tried flashing Bios directly through Mother Board but it did not work for some reason before I swaped CPU with the one with integrated graphics. Same thing also happened to like 7 friends and same methoh was used to fix it. Hope you could make video about it, I could show you how it went for me, and hopefully I could be tagged in one of the vids :)!

    @mikerzisu9508 2 года назад

    Find it hard to believe windows 11 bricked it… software rarely corrupts hardware unless one of the updates messed with the bios microcode. Even that is extremely unlikely. It is more likely a power surge or something like that took it out. Did you check all of the pins in the socket to ensure there are no bent pins?
    Rgb software updates also have the capability of corrupting the bios or compromising the stability because they access the bios to control the lighting for some hardware like the mobo and ram.
    I have the same mobo and cpu as you btw, no issues with mine at all.

    i dont know what the initial cause for instability related to win11 install was, but taking it off the wall the only thing you didnt consider is mounting pressure on your cpu and how gravity affects that. power delivery with other cable seems to have solved it, but uneven or overtorqued pressure on ur cpu causes very similar problems.

  • @Morrisen

    I can feel the pain.. I upgraded my motherboard and cpu and it worked fine. Then upgraded to W11 and had the exact same issue. Turns out my motherboard does have a random MSI bug. The only way I could get video output was when I only connected the HDMI output from my gpu, nothing else.. So when I connected DP amd HDMI, nothing. When I only connected the DP output, nothing. All this hassle and frustration for such a stupid bug. Literally did everything what happened in this video to try to solve it.

    Yo man as an electrician that bend on your 12 pin cable with your final cable management just does not look safe. Never wondered why it works with the lose cable but not the final positioned one? That bend seems to put to much stress on the connector I can see it pulling some connections halfway off or some bs like that.

    Hey Ed, @TechSource
    I have also encountered a similar error. In my case, it was the GPU. It would sometimes boot me into windows, and sometimes it would just fail. If I booted it after some time of failing, it would successfully do. But, it would never do on a restart.
    You can identify this error by plugging the display cable into one of the motherboard ports and disconnect the GPU. If it boots every time without the GPU, you know its the GPU that's bad.
    I could be wrong and in no way am I a professional but it's an experience I encountered so I wanted to share. Maybe might help you in the future who knows. :D
    GPU was: XFX RX 560 4GB

    I’ve had the same problem with my old pc. All components running fine, but no actual response on the monitor. Turns out the motherboard glitched out while the pc was booting up, which lead to the whole pc not receiving the right signals from the motherboard. Took multiple tries to get it to boot normally. Not sure if that’s the case here, but it looks similar.
