Hi all,
I've got a Gigabyte Z97X-sli and i5 4690k.
The system wouldn't boot after I loaded a random old profile on the bios (curiosity).
The fans fire up then it goes off, and back on and off. I've tried removing battery, removing everything but cpu. Even totally gutted the system and breadboarding it.
I did a post in the motherboard forum but no responses...
I'm not really after diagnostic help now, (i believe I tried everything, even shorting bios chip to get the backup bios to take over).
I'm just wondering if there's a way of knowing what has failed as I would have sold the parts or made another build for a family member.
Is the only option to buy a cheap 1150 mobo or cheap cpu?
Or could anyone send me a spare mobo/cpu, or I send my cpu? A bit of an ask I know.
It's just doing my head in, especially at the current time. I ordered a new Ryzen upgrade last week anyhow, amazingly before this happened but no sign of it arriving till late week.
I can't stand not knowing what's dead, especially with all this time on my hands.
Cheers
