PC Specs:
Windows 10
Core i5 4590
MSI Radeon R9 380
Fatal1ty Z97 Killer Mobo
8GB (2 x 4GB) RAM
600 watt PSU
1 TB WD Blue
120 GB SSD
Last week, I was using my computer when it froze up. I let it sit for several minutes, but it would not respond, so I force powered it off (which, I know, is ill advised.) After booting it up, I restarted it again because it appeared to be running really slowly. I used the computer for about another hour or so, before leaving it to go do something else. I came back to it a couple hours later and tried to wake it up. I heard some of the fans start up and the HDD begin to spin, but there was no display, and the power button was still flashing as if it were still asleep. I tried turning it off and on a few times, but it got the same result. I then opened my case up and found that the case fans were not spinning, but everything else appeared to be functioning normally. Power cycling did nothing, so I did some research online. The only useful article I found recommended I try removing the CMOS battery for 5 minutes or so. After I did that, the computer did the same thing, but the power button stopped flashing. The case fans do not work, and there is no video output from the GPU.
I'm fairly sure it may be an issue with the mobo, but I wanted to get some more info and recommendations before I spend any money. Does anyone have any idea what happened?
Thank you!
