I think that my motherboards bitten the dust.
went to switch it on yesterday , crashed at the loading screen for windows ( dotted circle ) , just hard locked. couldn't boot from any drive I selected ( it sees them all just fine in bios ).
thought it could possibly be a dying drive … but boots up just fine from another machine.
so I tried to install windows to another drive , and it hard locked on windows installation screen ( again the circles )
flashed the bios to see if it would work , but this time it loads past the cirlces then does a reboot instead ,
and is now stuck in an endless reboot loop weather I boot from windows drive or boot from a bootable USB , the outcome is the same now constant reboot cycle.
ive reset the bios , flashed it , pulled the battery and reset , took all parts out of machine , tested with different ram and a different GPU .
put in an rma request , can someone please question me being stupid or if it seems that it is the motherboard or anything else
