Hey guys.
I've had an Asus M5A88-V EVO with an FX 6300 @ 4.5GHz for the past 5 or so years.
Recently the setup started acting up, it would sometimes load to default OC profile when I hard restarted it (but only sometimes) which I always just reverted back to the OC profile I set up. I've never had any problems with my setup and the OC was always stable.
I have a beefy cooler with two fans and a third one next to them for exhaust out of the case, also two on the top and bottom - heat is not an issue.
Today I was about to switch to a different system and wanted to boot from a DVD but it wouldn't load (black screen). Now, couple of restarts later, the system won't boot. It has power (led on the mobo and gpu) and the fans are spinning but it won't beep/post and boot into the SSD's OS. My mmonitors don't react to the CPU being turned on.
I replaced the CMOS battery + cut the power / removed the battery to reset everything but it didn't help.
I'd like to know if these are the symptoms of not only a dead MOBO but also a CPU?
TBH at this point it would be better if the CPU was dead, but I want to avoid the hussle of returning the part that turns out to be ok.
Any suggestion on how what might actualy have died? Or is there a fix for this?
EDIT:
I'm pulling the setup apart ATM, nothing seems to help so far.
