Hi guys,

Hope somebody can help because at this point I'm going insane!

Specs:

PSU: EVGA Supernova 850 P2 CPU: Intel I5 6600k GPU: Nvidia 1070 Motherboard: Asrock z270 Killer SLI RAM: 2x8gb team group ddr4 (replaced with corsair 2x8gb ddr4)

The error I keep getting is that the UEFI defaults have been loaded.

A bit of history...

Last Tuesday I was using the pc fine, switched it off overnight, came back to it on Thursday and the pc would start but I had no video output. Tried it from the motherboard video output too and nothing.

First thing I did was replace the ram, one stick at a time etc, then ordered new ram, one stick at a time and still had the same issue.

Then I replaced the motherboard, and this time I got video output, however it kept telling me that the uefi bios defaults were being loaded, and then it would freeze.

I finally got into bios... Which then froze about 5 seconds after getting into it.

So I got a replacement motherboard... Which has the same exact issue!

It definitely isnt an overheating issue either as it freezes when the cpu is at 35 degrees c.

I've also tried a different PSU and get the same issue.

I have also reset the CMOS and tried multiple batteries.

Unfortunately I have no way of testing my CPU elsewhere, and despite it being the only constant in the equation I'm still finding it hard to believe it could be a CPU issue..

Has anybody ever had this issue before?

Cheers!

If you have replaced everything bar the CPU then its probably the CPU.
Remove the GPU and use onboard
Remove all but one RAM sticks.
Remove all drives plugged in
Try it again.
If it freezes its probably the CPU

Then buy the cheapest LGA1151 CPU you can find thats compatible with your board and try that.
eg G4xxx
