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.

I took the PC to a technician and although he had no DDR4 RAM to test it with, he said that he was 99% sure RAM was the issue. I replaced the RAM and the problem persisted.

At this point I'm at a complete loss because I've heard CPUs almost never go bad.

I'd also like to note that I've reset the bios multiple times, and I cant even get to the bios with just the motherboard, CPU, and RAM connected. At this point the computer just enters an infinite bootloop every time I try to turn it on. The fans turn on but the computer will not go past the Gigabyte logo. There is no beeping or anything.

Specs:
i7 6700k
Corsair H75 Water Cooler
GIGABYTE GA-Z170N-WIFI Mini ITX
16 GB DDR4 2400 G. Skill RAM
Evga SuperNOVA 650 watt PSU
Samsung Evo SSD

for one thing some one who calls themselves a pc technician should have ran memtest

not just told you its your ram when there was no evidence it was

i hope they didnt charge you anything

take the cpu out and check for bent pins

though would be kind of unlucky if you had bent pins twice

but it has to be checked

Hell of a technician he was.



Essentially, answer is no. Minimum build is CPU + mobo + PSU - if that does not beep, you know one of those components is bad, but you can't tell which. However, you already tried 2 mobo, so once you test 2nd PSU, the only thing that remains is ...
