Hey guys, first time builder here. I built a desktop computer last week, and yesterday I tried to reset the CMOS (there were some issues of weird double boots, as well as restarting when I asked the computer to shut down). Up until that point, everything was running pretty good on my system.
However, once I popped the battery back in, the motherboard is now in an endless bootloop; no output to the monitor, no POST, no LED on the motherboard yet the PSU fan, system fan, CPU fan and GPU fan all spin at a normal speed. This boot lasts for about 10-15 seconds, then the system shuts down, reboots, and the process is repeated.
Things I have done:
-checked the guide on this website
-tried both RAM slots (only have 1 8gb stick)
-breadboarded motherboard - ONLY had CPU, CPU fan, RAM and PSU hooked up, still bootlooped with no LED activity on the mobo
-unhooked all external devices/drives
-paper clip test the PSU; seemed to work fine, fan spun up
-tried onboard graphics
-tried resetting CMOS
None of these troubleshoots worked. It seems strange that when I power up the system, every fan starts spinning normally, yet there is no activity with the motherboard LED. I have a new motherboard on the way (Amazon's return policy is great), but don't know what else to try before I simply replace the motherboard.
