I built this computer myself, and it ran fine for almost a year and a half. Then, the first thing that happened to my computer was that I would have to manually choose through the bios to use my hard drive to boot instead of my CD drive. Failure to do so would result in my computer stuck in an infinite loop of turning on and back off again immediately. I would have to catch it just as it turned on and pull the plug, so it would pop up the "failed to boot" and I'd have time to hit the bios key (F10) to choose to boot from the Hard Drive. That started about 2 months ago. I usually leave my computer on all the time, only turning it off for windows updates, installations of new software, or other times when it's mandatory. I saw a windows update had finally popped up, and I put it off for about 12 hours. I left my house about 8 that morning. It would have reset around 10:30ish. I didn't get back until around 3 that evening. When I got home, I saw my computer stuck in the usual loop and didn't think anything about it. I caught it at the right time as usual, but this time, when I tried to boot, it didn't show a video.
I've looked all over this website trying to find an answer but to no avail. I've tried a different monitor. I've switched out RAM. I've used the paperclip test on the PSU, and it works.) I've taken out my graphics card and tried the onboard graphics. I've even taken out the CMOS battery and reset it. Still nothing.
My specs are as follows:
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 OEM (64-bit)
Motherboard: Asus Z87-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570@3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda ES 750GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus Radeon HD 7770 2GB Video Card
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Please help. I've been trying different things every day for almost 2 weeks now. I'm going crazy without my computer.
