Hi,

I'm having the following build:
Asus Z87 Deluxe
Intel i7 4770k
2x8GB Corsair Vengeance
Leadtek Nvidia GTX280
PSU Corsair GS700 700W

A couple of days ago while a was playing a game the computer shut down by itself then it didn't want to start anymore. It reboots continuously in a loop before POST like in the movie bellow:

I tried to start without any cable/cards connected and only with 1 RAM but the same behavior occurs.
I have already checked the PSU which is OK.
Do you have any ideas to try?

Thanks

Rats. I was watching your video and trying to look up those error codes, but couldn't find anything. It could be your CPU or the motherboard, but it's hard for me to tell. When my motherboard died recently, it did something similar, but that doesn't mean that yours is also dead.

Is there something else I could try or bear it as a dead MB?
Anyway the MB worked perfectly fine in 2 years and now suddenly dead...I'm still having a couple of warranty months left but it is more complicated to request a RMA because I'm in Europe and I have bought the MB from US and Asus Europe will not accept it...Bit of shame...but I know already my next MB will not be Asus anymore....

I would read through this other thread about testing motherboards.

After days of testing I have managed to start the board connecting a SSD on one of the SATA ports. I have tried to start only without a boot device connected but as soon as I connected a SSD it started fine. Is it possible that without a boot device the board cannot POST and pass to the BIOS?
