Hello all, long time lurker here. I built this system just over a year ago and upgraded it slightly about a month back with 32gb of ram. Unfortunately in the last week i have been having more and more trouble getting the system to start, until today when the system seems to be entirely dead, no posting no beeps, all that happens is the fans on for about 5 seconds then shut off and the system restarts. I've been reading threads all over trying to figure out what i can do to rememdy this, but am getting nowhere.
what ive tried so far
Resetting CMOS (shorting trick, battery trick)
Booting with secondary BIOS
Booting without GPU
Booting with 1 stick of known good RAM
Flashing Main bios with secondary bios using the switch on the mobo
Results aren't promising
the only thing that managed to get any change was booting with the secondary bios. unfortunately this came with a few other problems, namely the displays were unresponsive and i could not access the bios. The system would post and stabilize, but nothing more, felt like it would just idle and not accces the OS or even BIOS. I am running out of ideas and would appreciate some guidance. Thank you all
