I recently upgraded my components, (MSI Gaming Z170A GAMING M3 Motherboard and Intel Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz and also G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB) after having an issue with my older build. I already had to RMA my EVGA GTX 970. Which I received and installed on my new motherboard. Everything was running perfect until I ran 3DMark after overclocking a bit. I am fairly decent knowledge with overclocking and I know motherboards have a failsafe. Plus, I always keep tabs on my temps.
Anyways, I updated the motherboards BIOS to A05 a few weeks ago. Activated "Game Boost" feature in BIOS. Played "The Division" for a few hours. Decided to run it threw 3DMark to see my scores. Than it just shut off. No BSOD or anything.
Upon rebooting, the fans spun, hard drives spun but on my motherboard the indicator lights stopped at the CPU. No display, for either onboard graphics or two other GPUs. I have no beeps because my motherboard beeper is broke.
Things I've tried:
Pulled the CMOS battery
Shorted the jumpers
Replaced the GPU with an older one
Unplugged all drives
Changed the RAM
Just actually rebuilt it and checked the CPU and seemed fine. Added new thermal paste. Made sure everything was tightened down and connected.
