Parts list:
Intel i5 6600k
Asus z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard
EVGA Supernova G2 550W
Kingston HyperX Fury 16Gb DDR4 RAM
Kingston 120GB SSD
Western Digital 1tb HDD
be quiet! Dark Rock 3 Cooler
MSI GTX 1060 Gaming 6GB
My PC worked fine for about 3 weeks until one day it froze and when I tried booting it back up, the motherboard cycled through the 4 LED's (VGA, RAM, CPU, and BOOT DEVICE) but remained a solid red on the BOOT_DEVICE_LED. Initially I thought this was due to a faulty motherbaord so I got a replacement and the problem still occurs. I also tried changing from my initial Corsair CX600 PSU to the newer EVGA Supernova G2 but that did not solve anything either. When I turn on the PC everything turns on, the fans spin up but I get no display only a message saying that there is no Displayport signal. With the previous board I tried:
- Booting with only 1 stick of RAM (No difference, no beeps, solid red boot device led)
- Booting with no GPU (No difference)
- Using different SATA cables (No difference)
- Unplugging the drives and booting with out them(No difference)
Not sure if this is relevant but I had been using a cracked version of Windows 10 Pro.
It is definitely not the board or the PSU and since the CPU, RAM, and VGA Led's turn off after a few seconds I am guessing none of those are the problem either, so my only guess is my SSd or HDD are faulty or dead. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
