Bought WD-40 Contact Cleaner from Amazon to rectify double-click problem on my Corsair Mechanical K/B (K70 Lux). It has worked wonders!! I would recommend this product to anybody facing such issues..

I had replaced my APC battery with Exide battery. Its cheaper and works great.

I have been receiving this error message since few days...very random but happens every day...

I use 500GB NVMe as my boot/Windows/programs drive, my 2TB SSD for games and another 1TB for all multimedia and backups. Choose as per your requirements. HDDs are still OK for backups and other data assuming they are new or in good condition. Since you have limited budget I can suggest Crucial...

Like I said earlier, due to limited budget you will not have much option. I would recommend priority as CPU+GPU>MoBo>RAM>Monitor>PSU>Everything else.

In that case you might want to upgrade your GPU to something like 9060XT...

For your tight budget I think you will have to compromise on hardware quality a bit. I have one suggestion: Intel i5 14400F + MSI Pro H610M-E DDR5 Motherboard + Zotac RTX 3060 + AData 5600MHz 8GBx2 RAM + Antec Atom V550 PSU + AOC 22" Monitor + Ant ESport Cabinet From online prices I have seen...

When I encountered such problem the only solution was changing the motherboard....rest every solution (GPU/RAM/CPU) didn't work.... Never faced any issue after changing the MoBo...

I am not doubting PSU as everytime I disconnect my K/b the system starts fine. PSU should not be affected by defective keyboard - I think.

I am posting again now since I never got any time to reopen and reassemble my system. I continued using my system with THE PROBLEM until few days back when I noticed that before boot-up problem my keyboard would just give a flicker on Num-Lock LED. If the LED stays solid then system would boot...

I have already checked that..no issue found... I will have to completely disassemble the whole system and reassemble....that's the only solution I can think of. If it runs fine then I will know otherwise I will start replacing each component separately....:wah:

Most of the steps are not applicable here as, like I said earlier, the system freezes at boot logo itself. I cannot even enter BIOS - forget about booting into safe mode. Well, this time I opted for just "Clear CMOS" step and that didn't work..I had to restart my system 4 times before it booted...

Did I speak too soon? The problem has re-occurred although its less severe now. The system hangs sometimes now and reboots fine after restart. Should I repeat the process of CMOS and disconnections?

I removed and reinserted all components and went ahead clearing CMOS. The system now boots fine. Thank you guys for the suggestions. :doublethumb:
