I recently built a pc with an i7 6700k and GIGABYTE GA-Z170N-WIFI. 3 days after building it the PC started blue screening. After the first blue screen I was not able to enter the bios. I checked the CPU temperatures and they seemed fine. I also tested the RAM individually and the RAM seemed to work. The next day the computer stopped booting completely. It would enter a bootloop before Windows ever finished loading, and would not let me enter the bios.
I assumed the motherboard was bad since I couldn't even enter the bios when the computer was working, but after replacing the motherboard the bootloop problem persisted. Is it possible that the CPU could be causing this? I have an RMA approved through Intel but I'm hesitant to replace the CPU because I've heard CPUs almost never fail and this doesn't seem like a CPU issue. Any advise?
