So after getting my PC setup it worked smoothly for a day and then froze. I could not open task manager or anything so I turned it off. I turned it back on and nothing would appear on the screen. I took it apart and tried it with just the motherboard, fans, and PSU connected and still nothing on the screen. I reset the CMOS and put all of my parts back in and ran an HDMI cable from my GPU and finally got BIOS to open and I set that up and reboot so I could get windows to start running again but that never happened. It would only go to the screen that says "F2 for setup" and whatnot and then just goes black after that. I also could not open the setup again. I asked a local PC guy and he said it was most likely the MOBO so I sent that in for an exchange. Has anyone dealt with something like this before?
