Hi all,

I have the above strix motherboard paired with a 2700X and it's been trouble free since it was built a couple of months ago.

Yesterday I was playing FH4 and the game crashed, screen froze and unresponsive, this isn't unique, FH4 loves to crash. But, I held down the power button to shut it off, and then turned it back on again it would get to the "press F2 to go to UEFI settings" splash screen and get stuck there. It wouldn't accept any input. I tried many many times and always the same result.

I reseated the ram and the GPU - Nothing.

I removed all USB devices except keyboard - Nothing

I tried booting multiple times to get the windows 10 safe mode/repair - It wouldn't go beyond the splash screen.

I took out the CMOS battery and cleared the bios - Nothing

Finally, unplugged the keyboard, and it passed the splash screen and then went into an endless 'spinning circle' loading screen, or an endless 'preparing to repair' screen. I've left it going for hours at this point, but no repair was made.

Can anybody help me with this? I've been pulling my hair out and I'm open to any suggestions. I really hope I don't have to RMA this board.

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks for your input.

I have put a freshly erased M.2 in to replace the windows drive with the hope of reinstalling and it still suffers the same symptoms. Although instead of the ROG spinning circle screen, it's now a blue windows spinning circle screen that it's getting stuck on. Very frustrating.
 
I've got 4 ram sticks, I have tried with just 1, this didn't change the situation. I have not tried disconnection front panel, I'll do this now.

Unfortunately I don't have another SATA device I can try.
