Hello all I was playing a game last night when the screen froze and the computer stopped working. I ended up powering it down and now I can't even get into the BIOS, I can get to the post screen I think it's called which tells me that it's initializing usb controllers (doesn't work without them either), 4gb of ram ok, after an age it says auto detecting sata 2 and that's it, it won't go anywhere or do anything after that. I've tried a few things like disconnecting and anything plugged into the usb's removing the battery from the motherboard, checked the graphics card, tried to boot the windows installation dvd, removed a hard drive that I'd had problems with lately but nothing.
I have a AMD Phenom 970 with a H70 cooler
an M4N98TD Evo motherboard
OCZ Agility 3 SSD
650 watt corsair psu
LG Blu ray HD DVD drive
Kingston 4gb Hyperx 1333mhz ram
Sorry if I forgot anything. And I selected memory as my sub category although I have no idea what is actually wrong!.
I just can't understand why it would just stop working. If anyone could help me pinpoint what's wrong I'd really appreciate it.
