First, I was having an issue with black screens over RDP (I RDP a lot with no issues) so I went to my computer, logged in, restarted and now it won't POST. I have not had any issues before and the most recent hardware change was several weeks ago when I installed a new GPU. I'm wondering whether this is more likely the MB or the CPU.
Symptoms:
None of the USB connected items are working any more (keyboard and mouse don't light up) and the screen is blank.
Fans on GPU start but then stop and CPU fan spins at steady RPMs.
Hard Drives sound like they are spinning.
Lights on MB are on.
No Beeps
What I've tried:
I've gone through the Tom's troubleshooting list completely twice. No luck.
I've put my old GPU in and changed PCIe slots.- Nothing
Attached new PSU- Nothing
When I remove all the DIMMS i do get beeps but none with them installed.
Cleared CMOS by removing battery
Rig:
Motherboard: MSI 990FXA Gaming
CPU: FX8320e overclocked to 4.2Ghz (this has been stable for months)
GPU: Gigabyte Windforce OC GTX 1060 6GB (also tried my old R7 370). Overclocked using Gigabyte's Gaming software (some tweaks in the last few days but not much).
PSU: Corsair CX600 (also tried CX850M)
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000)
Cooler: Cryorig H7
