My Pc started having problems when i tried playing a 4k video on 4k TV. It froze and from then on when i go turn on the PC it would restart several times before booting up.
The chip i7 4790k was not 4k capable so i must have caused something. Listed below is the whole affair and what I have tried.
The PC also started freezing when under load (video editing, playing games etc). So i cleansed everything thinking it was dirt built up. I also tried updating the bios. But once i did so I couldn't get into Windows anymore. It acted like the raid was not loading. In the middle of this i tried a new Power Supply and it didn't make a difference. I than thought maybe the motherboard was bad so i sent in to be repaired. I ended it putting my old Power supply back into the pc after testing it (paper clip) After the motherboard was returned it didn't have as many issues with restart (but as it goes on it started happening more again). But the PC wouldn't load into windows still.
So i removed my video card (GTX 1080) and was able to boot into windows. So I tried a new power supply thinking that it might have been a failing power supply causing my motherboard to fail but once again the new Power supply didn't make a difference. So I removed the video card again and got into windows. in the process of updating windows and backing up files the PC froze. It appeared to have corrupted the update. So I than went into Windows 10 safe mode and fixed the repair but now it freezes at the start up of windows.
So i don't know whats wrong. Is it a failing CPU or a short somewhere?
I also tried replacing the RAM as well.
