The problem actually began a few weeks ago, when the PC crashed very hard when playing BF4, Win 10 Blue screen, and then rebooted into a BIOS warning which said:
boot failure detected" - system has experienced a boot failure possibly due to incorrect configuration. Previous settings in the BIOS may not be compatible. with current hardware state.
current cpu speed : 3999Mhz
current bclk : 100.2mhz
current memory speed : 1333.63mhz
At the time I took PC apart and after some struggle got it working again, fresh WIN 10 install and all seems rosy.
Last night it hard crashed again playing BF4 and it rebooted back to the warning, so I reset the bios as it was suggesting. This morning it did the same thing off cold boot. so I reset the defaults to make sure that it had returned to normal and it booted. Next restart it came up with the same issues, and the following restart it wouldn't display anything on the monitor.
Since this point I've hard reset the CMOS on the motherboard, cant get a signal from either Onboard or the grx card now so can't even see if it is posting.
I've taken the PC apart and now have the mobo, CPU, 1 stick of RAM, USB keyboard and the VGA cable from the onboard. Nothing posting. There is power as the pc turns on and the CPU header fan I've got plugged in spins away. But the monitor says there is no signal.
I am pretty much at my wits end about what to do, and what has gone wrong.
I was running the RAM on its 2666Mhz XMP profile which and the CPU was overclock to 4.2Ghz however temps never went over 62 on the hardest of games. I've removed all OC's for safety, even the RAM and Im at the position above.... stuck.
I don't really have access to spare parts but I will assume that it is either CPU, Mobo, RAM or PSU issue given with it stripped its not working.
Part are:
i5 4690k
Gigabyte z97x-sli motherboard
Team Group Xtreme 2666Mhz RAM
SUperflower Golden Green 550W PSU
MSI GTX 970 - which im concerned is damaged but didn't show any fault
Powercolor HDX Soundcard
Cruicial MX100 SSD 128/256
Cooler - was https://www.overclockers.co.uk/raijintek-themis-direct-contact-cpu-cooler-hs-001-rt.html
but is now Corsair H100i GTX AIO as just got In Win 805 Case and the cooler didn't fit.
Any help would be much appreciated but I do think something has died, and unsure what the warranty would be... RAM says lifetime on it, but don't know about CPU etc. NO part is more than 15months old and all bought from Overclockers.
thanks
Nick

Guy in this post seems to have a similar problem - anyone think it would be the same issue?
