Hello everyone,
I built my rig a little under 6 months ago and I am now seeing some problems with it.
Last night I was browsing the web and then I caught a glimpse of a random error, it was a strange one I had never seen before, with a sad face and message about how something went wrong. This was on my screen for barely a second, and then it then proceeded to reboot, twice. Each time there was nothing popping up on the screen and I could tell it wasnt actually booting at all because neither my keyboard or mouse turned on.
Now it is still the same issue, I try to start it up and I get a black screen but it seems like everything wants to work, all the fans are on, the lights light up and then it just idles at that state.
I've tried all sorts of different remedies, such as removing the mobo battery, booting without HDD, GPU, or RAM but I still get no sign of life, no beeping or anything at all.
Also, the most recent work I did as far as hardware was when I upgraded my 7870 to a R9290, but that was about 2 weeks ago and the computer has been doing great with it, unless the PSU suddenly decided to die now.
I know for a fact that the part I cheaped out on the most was the motherboard, and I am thinking that could be what is the issue here, especially because I don't even get a bios when I boot. Is there a way to determine that this is the root of my problems?
