Hi all,
I have checked multiple threads on here for a resolution and I have followed as many steps as possible.
My new PC parts arrived last Thursday and I took my time on Friday to build the PC.
I have the following setup;
i7 4790K with stock cooler
MSI Z97S Mobo
2 X 8Gb 2133Mhz Gskills TridentX ram
MSI GTX 970
650W BeQuiet 80 Plus Bronze
120Gb Samsung Evo (OS)
240Gb Samsung Evo
1TB Western Digital 7200RPM HDD
Windows 10
On Friday I had some issues with booting the system. There were two options, I forget exactly what they said but one was "Setup" and the other was "Continue". I selected setup, which got me stuck in a boot look. I reset the CMOS and selected "Continue". This worked and I was able to use my PC.
On Saturday and Sunday I played some games, BF4, Elite Dangerous, Metro First Light, and I processed some videos with GoPro Studio. Everything worked fine and I had no issues what so ever.
Tonight, while playing Elite Dangerous, my PC crashed. It was stuck in a reboot loop which I couldn't get out of. The furthest it got to at this point was the screen before the BIOS, which was a black screen with A2 in the bottom right (this shows every time I boot, but I am not sure what this is). The PC would shut down, and restart itself, shut down again and restart itself. This would continue until I unplugged it from the wall.
I then took out the GPU and the ram and tried restarting it. As there is no MOBO speaker, I didn't get any beeps which would tell me if the MOBO is ok (I read that on another thread here). I then inserted one RAM stick and that got me to windows, but it would freeze and I would have to do a hard reset. I changed the ram stick and used a different slot. This worked fine. I then inserted the GPU again and not the PC is working so far.
I have only browsed the internet for similar issues and posted this thread. I'm kinda afraid of restarting the PC in case it doesn't turn on again. Is there any way to know for certain which component it might be? If the CPU or MOBO was damaged would I still be able to get to Windows?
I am going to run a MEMTEST now and check the temps after playing BF4 for a little while. Just to get some data. I don't want to stress test the CPU without a decent cooler.
If anybody can help, that would be awesome.
Thanks.
