PC gradually losing ability to boot (not a new PC)

Hello all!

So i've been having this issue the last 6 months starting out as occasional failure of the PC to boot, here it would power up (gpu/pc fans and all lights running) but show no display or mouse/keyboard startup. All usb ports have power as well as my xbox controller can actively charge on all of them. Now this is gradually becoming worse, maybe at first once every 3 boot attempts or so to last week were i had to actively restart the computer over 30 times to get it to start. Key to this is that once the system is started, no instability/lag or overheating is observed. For all that I know, the system works like a charm once its booted. However, its gotten to a point were it cannot be booted at all.


System:
GTX1060 (6gb)
Ryzen 2500X
Corsair vengeance 8gb DDR4 (2x)
Abko Mighty PSU (500W)
Motherboard: ??? (I actually have no idea, i cannot find any marking on the actual motherboard and obiously I cannot check in PC)


I have tried:
Removing RAM (actually booting without RAM does not make a beeping sound
Moving RAM to other color matched slots
Booting with a single RAM stick
Resetting cmos by removing battery -> also placed another 3V battery in with no success
unplugging and plugging in all cables on the motherboard (except for a big 24-pin in the center of the MB)

Does anyone have any idea?
I can provide pictures if necassary (on short notice)

Thanks in advance!

Alright I just tried this and no display or keyboard turning on.

 

Thanks for the clarification. I did now remove the gpu and plugged the hdmi into the motherboard slots, started the PC and again no response. Also, i did not manage to find any capacitors that looked puffy or structurally damaged.

Unless you have a monitor problem, then the issue will be with the motherboard or CPU. Of those 2, the motherboard is FAR more likely.

 

Thanks for your responses. Ive since been able to try out another PSU and GPU without succes. Also, ive gotten my hands on a multimeter and checked the cmos battery which was good. Also since I tried a decent amount of RAM configurations (single sticks in different slots) I find it unlikely that RAM is the cause. So i've followed your advice and bought a new motherboard which is arriving today. Lets hope for the best

There is no Ryzen 2500x and there are no Ryzen boards with onboard GPU capability - generally motherboards with on-chip video capabilty dissapeared around 2004. What you have now are some CPU's with iGPU and the motherboard outputs adhere to that standard with outputs to produce that signal. Did you mean Ryzen 3500x or 3300x? Both of those would not have iGPU or APU capability.

 

You're right, 2500X was a typo I have a 2600X. No integrated graphics indeed. But my new motherboard works! I'm back in the system, only sometimes the PC does not recognize 1 stick of RAM... So ill be trying to run memtest86 to check for RAM failure. At least this mobo has LED light to indicate specific component failure, might come in handy for future problems. Ill also be resetting windows and reinstalling drivers manually, hopefully the RAM is still ok.
Thanks for your suggestions!

 

I reseated the cpu and the RAM issue also seems to be fixed.

 

Very good reseating can actually solve a lot of issues.

 

Yeah it was the first time installing a cpu so I tightened the cpu cooler screws in sequence which probably tilted the cooler somewhat. All is good now!
Again, thanks for your suggestions.
