Hello,
My PC sometimes fails to POST and the motherboard shows a white LED (CPU_ERROR). All fans spin (including the graphics card).
To make it POST, I do the following,
But recently this is happening more and more which is very irritating. Adding to that, now I see a black screen after the UEFI splash screen which stays for 2-3 seconds, then it boots. It was not like that before.
I think one of the component is failing. Either it is the PSU or the motherboard. (I cheaped out on both to save money). Don't want to replace both of them right now. But not sure which one is the culprit. Cant be both of them!
Also I am pretty sure, the CPU is not faulty. Tested that in intel service center with at least 2 different motherboards.
Any experienced builders or engineers here can suggest something?

To make it POST, I do the following,
- Turn off power and clear residual charge by pressing power button for 10-15 seconds.
- Unplug the PC connections.
- Clear the CMOS battery with jumper.
