I've been using this build for the past two years with minimal changes (the big one was adding a 2nd GPU, but that was about a year ago), with no problems:
MSI X99S Gaming 7
Intel 5930k
2x Nvidia 980s - SLI
Ripjaw 32 GB DDR4
Up until yesterday, I was using a 128 GB Samsung XP941 as my boot drive, with an 850 EVO and 850 PRO as storage drives. I decided to upgrade the XP941 to a 500 GB 950 EVO, and I wiped the two storage drives, too.
I installed Windows 10 to the 950 just fine, but I noticed some issues when I tried to reboot-- unless I specifically selected the 950 in the boot menu, the BIOS would kick me to a screen that said something like "bootable device not found, reboot with bootable drive". This was even with the BIOS specifically having the 950 listed as the #1 boot priority.
That was fine, but now when I try to boot, I can't even get to the BIOS screen. This started with me restarting the PC this morning, when it was working fine. I just disconnected the GPUs, SSDs, and M.2 drive to see if there was anything obvious going on, but everything looks fine there. The motherboard has a debug code of 04, which means "power on south bridge initialization", according to the manual. The monitor reads "DisplayPort not connected".
There is a backup BIOS switch on the motherboard, but when I flip it to 'A' from 'B', it just continuously reboots itself after ~3 seconds of trying to initialize.
I know this sounds like a hardware config problem, but any ideas?
Thanks...
