Problems started a few days ago whilst playing Doom, firstly it crashed mid game, I was stuck in game, tried all the usual stuff to reboot but nothing worked so had to flip power switch on back, when it restarted I got the Blue screen and "system thread exception not handled" and then numerous restarts getting these msgs "preparing auto repair" then an "Ox000021a"error and finally a "\wind\sys32\ntoskrnl.exe"
I got into bios and tried booting from windows 10 on USB to repair but it wouldn't boot from it, after a few attempts now it won't even post to the monitor, it just restarts over and over.
I've tried resetting cmos and I've replaced cmos battery, tried another graphics card and removed ram and tried one at a time etc but nothing, just the constant restarting, everything lights up then it all powers down again every 10-15 seconds
This is a new PC and I only finished putting it together about six weeks ago
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

May be the SSD is not being recognised in the machine. It could have been corrupted.

Did you have an old windows install on the HDD? This may be a confusing issue if it is trying to boot from the Caviar.

I would disconnect this drive. Reset Cmos and remove the battery again. Then try the bootable USB or just let it try to boot from the SSD drive.

You could also download a linux live disk (DVD or USB) and see if it boots from that and recognises the SSD drive.

You need to get into the bios to reset the boot drive order to the SSD

It may require a reinstall of windows if the boot drive is corrupted.
 
Tried the above and it's just the same, will need to wait to weekend to try the Linux live boot as I've no pc/laptop to hand.
Was wondering if it could be the cpu that had gone...

Are you running a big overclock? However the cmos reset should have removed that.

IMO it is a software problem or a motherboard/bios issue not recognising the bootable USB. Possibly the SSD which may also be software or mb related.
 
To add to the list I've swapped graphics card, changed motherboard, tried another power supply , the only difference it made was that with a new power supply it shut down after a split second when power button turned on, as opposed to the 10 -15 second restart with old p/s
surely it can't be software or ssd can it? This is driving me round twist :(
 
Have you tried with all drives (nvme ssd/hdd/dvd) disconnected to see if it will boot to bios? You need to reduce possible faults, so just start with motherboard, cpu, one stick of RAM, onboard graphics.
