Hello,
I'm hoping someone with a wealth of experience can help me as i'm trying too distinguish what is wrong with my custom build, spec below. I made this PC about a year ago and its been fine up until now, i'm wondering if I have a fault with my MOBO, It's an ASUS Maximus VIII Ranger.
Recently my PC has started to ignore bootup/gets stuck in cold boot? I press the power button and nothing happens. The level of severity can range from me having to turn it off (let the power drain) turn it back on two maybe three times and it will finally power up too full on rage inducing hours spend turning it off and on, reseting CMOS, resetting BIOS, unplugging all unnessissary hardware etc until I get some life out of it.
I contacted ASUS customer service who offered no help what so ever, they just said I need to go back to the retailer to look for repair or a replacement, obviously this could take days if not weeks before I can get my PC rebuilt so I want to know if anyone else has experienced this issue and if it was indeed the MOBO before i pull my build apart.
Here's what I've tried so far:
resetting the BIOS to begin with seemed to be the optimal way of getting some life back into the PC but eventually one time it went into a complete coma where it took me two days to get it going again. I read that maybe my BIOS settings were corrupted or out of date. They indeed were out of date, so I flashed the BIOS through the BIOS itself, using the handy on board connect to internet and download feature these new ASUS boards have. But after it installed the new update it went into another coma. After another day of off/on work on my PC i manged to get it going again and it indeed did do the update. I thought this solved the issue (It didn't >.<)
I've pulled out bits of hardware that I thought may be causing issues, maybe damaged RAM, GPU etc anything that could be at fault and causing it to not boot. everything else seems fine.
Once i do get my PC going it runs fine, Plays high end games no problem, no instability etc so I'm struggling to understand what the fault could be.
Spec is:
Intel I5 6600K
Asus Maximus VIII Ranger
Nvidia Geforce 1070 TI
Corsair Dominator platinum 16GB 3000mhz
XFX XTR 850W PSU
Corsair 780T Case
Windows 10 64bit
any help is much appreciated as this issue is driving me up the wall!
Cheers
