So, I started up my pc this morning to find it doing a seemingly "infinite" Boot loop, But it wouldnt show Bios at all, nor would it post. I've removed all of the ram and even the graphics card to see if I can get some form of "beep" out of the motherboards speaker as it will usually beep a certain way for certain errors, but it hasnt show any signs of doing so. I've also tried different ram configurations to try and rule out that the ram is dead or not, and I've left it for half a hour without power or the cmos battery to clear any settings, and I've also replaced the cmos battery. Nothing appears to be working, and I've re-seated the ram power cables etc to make sure nothing was just "loose", any help would be great, Thank you System specs: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD5, Ram: 4x4gb G.skill Ripjaws-Z DDR3 @1333mhz Cpu: i7 3770k @4.2, then after the cmos had no power I'd assume it'd be taken to stock again. PSU: Corsair AX1200 GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon 295x2 Cooler: Corsair H100i Primary HDD: Western digital Velociraptor (10k rpm) 1tb Accessorys?: 6x usb2.0 PCI card
No boot is almost always ram related (Or CPU, if you're really unlucky), have you tried borrowing some ram from a friend/other computer and testing with that (not just moving around your current stuff)?
None :/ I've even re-seated them in the psu (as its fully modular) I'm just hoping the board isnt dead, which is what it seems to be telling me since there is no "beeps" even with no ram seated at all.
Yea thats what's coming to mind, its just going to be a hassle to replace a motherboard nearly 3 gens old I guess. I'll post a video in a minute of what it does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WlxujZCpE0& - - - Updated - - - So. I've swapped in my old psu and cpu (without the graphics card due to its power needs) and it has the same results, which means my motherboard has died. Thank you for the help guys If there is a moderator around, locking/closing the thread would possibly suit Thank you
