So over the past month my computer has been restarting forcefully without any warnings maybe once or twice every week. I hadn't really thought anything of it because the computer is a couple years old, and i figured it would just be some update that required the computer to restart.

However last night it did it once more, and this time when i try and turn it back on it does turn on, however the computer does not seem to connect with my mouse, screen and keyboard.

I took a look inside the computer and I saw a red light that usually isn't lit. Its the ez debug led .The light mainly only lights up the DRAM light, however it occasionally flickers to the CPU light as well. I looked it up and everyone told me to switch the ram into the 2nd and 4th slot which i tried. I tried using only one ram stick instead of 2 (Tried both separately). Ive tried every combination of the ram there possibly is, however the computer still does not connect to to keyboard, mouse or screen. Some post also said that i had to update my BIOS, but I have no idea how i am supposed to do this when the computer does not connect with my screen, keyboard or mouse.

My motherboard is a Z-170-A Pro

Any ideas on what the problem is? Help is greatly appreciated!

1| Can you please pass on your full system's specs inclusive of how you've connected your peripherals to the back I/O and your OS?
2| Have you tried powering up your system with no SATA drives attached? Without any boot drive you should be able to go into BIOS at least.
3| I'd suggest breadboarding your system to rule out any grounding issues with the case/motherboard standoffs. Apparently this issue seems to be happening wide spread with users on that particular motherboard. It can range with either n Windows 10 or all the way down to Windows 7.
4| You can try removing the motherboard battery for +/-15 minutes before replacing it to see if any change is seen.
