Hello community!
I am asking for advice from you wonderful people about a problem that I have recently encountered and cannot find any other information about. Firstly, my build:
I built the PC in October 2013 with no issues since (also all components are under warranty). I have been mainly using this computer for work and gaming.
Problem History
I woke up this morning to check some posts on facebook and decided to watch a video. Upon watching the video, the browser crashed and reported that Shockwave had crashed. I figured that restarting the browser would be fine so I reopened the browser and decided to watch the same video again. It started off fine until I made it fullscreen and it immediately froze. I waited to see if it would unfreeze but it didn't. I used Ctrl+Alt+Del to initiate the program manager when nothing happened. I waited ~15 seconds, tried again and nothing happened. After ~30 seconds the BSOD appears with the following reason: DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION (0x00000133).
For those of you who do not know what it is, you can read Here.
tl dr; When Windows is in an IRQ (Hardware Interrupt) state for more than 30 seconds, this happens.
Problem Description
Upon power up, power is distributed via PSU to all components but mobo doens't post. Nothing afterwards and no response to keyboard commands.
Attempted Diagnostics
After reading several threads and blog posts, I have done the following steps
Direct Question to Community
Have you heard of a mobo getting fried by a BSOD (possibly relating to a system interrupt issue)?
Many thanks all!
