Hello all,
Recently I've been having trouble with my most recent build. I built the computer 6 months ago and everything has worked flawlessly up until now. Last week my computer began to continuously blue screen, so first I did everything I could on the software side of things like updating drivers, reinstalling OS, updating BIOS, etc but the PC was still blue screening. Until eventually the PC wouldn't reach the BIOS and I was just left with a black screen on boot. At this point I'm thinking it's a hardware issue of sorts. When booting the PC up, the VRAM LED flashes once, and the BOOT Device LED flashes once, and the VGA LED stays solid red. I removed CMOS battery as well as shorting the jumpers and nothing changed. I also tried booting without my GPU, and with my GPU in another PCIE slot and the VGA LED stayed on, onboard video won't work either. Everything else in the case is working like it did from day one, all fans power up, CPU has power, GPU fans are spinning, etc.
Is it time for a new motherboard? Anything else I should try before I send it in? Newer to building computers so any advice would help!
Here is my build:
i7 6700k
Asus z170-pro
Gtx 970
Seasonic M12II 850w bronze psu
16gb Kingston hyperX
Corsair h110i water cooler
250 gb Samsung Evo ssd
1 TB Seagate HDD
All help is appreciated!
