Hi all,

So I was away for the summer at an internship and left my pc along with my other things in a storage locker; it was working before then but once I set it up yesterday it is stuck rebooting then restarting before I can flash into the bios.

Here are my specs:

CPU: intel i3 6100 kaby lake
Mobo: gigabyte H110m-a micro-atx
PSU: Corsair CX430 Watt
GPU: MSI GTX 1050ti 4GB
RAM: Ballistix Sport 8GB 2400 MHz RAM
Boot Drive: PNY 240GB SSD
Extra HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200 RPM

When I turn it on, all the fans work (both cpu fan and case fans). Unfortunately I do not have a motherboard speaker on board. I tried taking the RAM out and placing it back in into both of my two dimm slots. Also tried running through on board graphics with the graphics card taken out. Same problem. Took out the motherboard cmos battery to see if it was dirty or something; didn't help. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

Ye. And do what I said with Ubuntu. Search how to create a bootable USB drive, recover files and format. Reinstall W10. It might be an OS prob. Right now im empty headed, since you did the CMOS clear, and the rest of what we recommended. I don't know. For how long do you have your PC? P.S. Check ATX, CPU and the 24 pin PSU cables to see if they are all connected to your MoBo. Hope I helped.

Just so you know I only have one stick of RAM, I'll try it regardless haha.

Another weird thing is that my keyboard's backlighting is still working when it is off. Just learned that there is an option for power to still be applied to usb ports :O

didn't seem to work by pressing F2 and Del keys. Thank you for the suggestion though. At this point I am thinking that either my one RAM stick is dead or my mobo and/or PSU is messed up. Any thoughts?

Clear CMOS (the small battery in the MoBo):
Remove the CMOS battery or click in the clear CMOS button in the MoBo (some have a button for that purpose).

Boot the PC. See if it works after clearing CMOS. If not, unplug your HDD and if you have an extra PC, connect the HDD and grab a USB drive with Ubuntu. Recover any files you don't wanna loose and format the drive and re-install W10. Hope I helped! Best wishes.

Nothing happened. Haven't even gotten the computer to connect to the monitor at all - no video.

No extra PC sadly; only macbook pro for college. I guess I could order an external hard drive casing and try and boot from that?
