Hey guys. Installed my new gpu and psu yesterday and the PC booted and worked fine for about 20 minutes until it hardlocked, after which it wouldnt post and the red CPU debug light was on. After doing normal testing and resetting the cmos the pc booted up fine. Today it hardlocked again and won't boot. What could be the problem?
MOBO: MSI Z170-A Pro
GPU: GTX 1070
PSU: EVGA 600b
CPU: I5 6600k
RAM: GSKILL 2033
Probably worth noting that the computer pretty much randomly started working again when I had problems the first time. I was testing ram and it booted and just out of curiosity I put the second stick back in and it booted again.
I've followed every step on the motherboard testing page to no avail. I've checked the cpu and socket for bent pins and burn marks but nothing was seen. I also tested it with my previous power supply and it still didn't work. Is it safe to assume its the motherboard or can I not rule out CPU? I don't have another lga1151 motherboard to test the processor in.
