Hi guys,
i browsed on heaps of topic regarding issues on POST BIOS but couldnt figure my problem.
SPECS:
I7 2600k (2 years old)
MASTERCOOLER V8 CPU cooler (3 years old)
ASROCK Z68 EXTREME 3 (2 years old)
4x 4GB patriot viper extreme 2133 (6 months old)
ASUS GTX580 (2 years old)
CORSAIR TX750 watts (3 years old)
SSD 120GB patriot for C: partition (2 years old)
HDD black caviar 1TB x2 (3 years old)
My pc was running fine up to this morning.
i started watching a movie and got the blue screen, the computer restarted by itself.
As soon as it was on windows, blue screen again.
I thought it was a virus and tried to go to safe mode.
Went to safe mode, blue screen again and this time, didnt restart ... stayed on the blue screen ...
i did cmos clear and rebooted, went to advanced option to try last known good config, blue screen again as soon as it was showing starting windows
rebooted then i couldnt get anything (cant even go to bios)
the computer starts, i can hear all the fans, but then keep rebooting every 3 seconds.
thinking to mobo was faulty, i went and bought an ASROCK Z77 EXTREME6.
Put everything back together, it boots to the ASROCK bios logo, then froze ...
Since, it keeps rebooting every 3 seconds.
removed the RAM and left 1 bar, stopped rebooting but didnt show anything on display...
Any ideas?
im thinking about a bad PSU.
how can i check what component is faulty? i dont have spares or friends who can give me their to try ...
cheers
