Hi guys, I've had my pc for around 7 years now with never no problem, however the other day it shut down after doing some video encoding and wouldn't boot back up, I tried a Windows repair several times to no avail, i also tried booting back up in safe mode to no avail, in the end i tried resetting my windows 10 pc and it crashed.....
I then tried reinstalling windows 10 from disc it installed it OK got to the home page and crashed and wouldn't boot back up,i managed tho to get a windows memory diagnostic tool ran and it came up with nothing, which led me to think the crucial ssd was at fault, i tried changing it to a m.2 crucial ssd.... Reinstalled Windows on it and the same thing again as I've got to home page it's crashed before I've even installed any drivers, everything seems to be OK fans all running, temps seem normal in the bios.
The only other thing i get is when i get the bsod it say dpc watchdog violation ?.which o know can be driver issues on hardware amongst other things but I've not had any problems since till handbrake shut the Pc down after encoding and it's not been right since....I've also tried removing the graphics card in case that was causing it and connected the monitor to the motherboard hdmi but it still crashes the same, the memory seems to have no errors..... But could it still be faulty? Any ideas??.... I'm wondering if there's something on the motherboard has gone also, any help is much appreciated
I7 ivybridge
Asus rog maximus 7 hero
8 gb corsair ram
Crucial ssd
Nvidia Gtx 1660 ti
 
There doesn't seem to be any problems with the power what i can see but I'm no expert lol.... Psu is a corsair 860
 
Unfortunately its a case of trial and error , can you boot in safe mode ?
I can't even do that.... It just doesn't want to play ball.
I'm thinking it's not a psu problem cos there doesn't seem to be a problem with power but again I'm no expert, I'm thinking now with trying 2 hard drives it's the same and doing a Windows memory diagnostic coming up error free then it's something do with the motherboard, again temps seem to be fine.
I've put windows on several times now.... I usually don't even get chance to put any drivers on before i get the bsod.!
