Replacement CPU/Mobo

[David_VI]

Not sure
Boot it to the USB and wait to see if it shuts down before trying anything
If it shuts down did you try removing bios battery for at least 10 minutes?

Yeah tried that, tried cmos reset.
I don't get anything on screen at all, system it turns off within a few seconds.
I'd just like to know what's dead, cpu or mobo.
Only way to know seems to be to buy a 1150 mobo or cpu

It doesn't matter too much as new ryzen mobo and cpu will arrive soon but I hate not knowing what failed as i can't sell or use any of it.

Astonishingly, I decided to try the power button bios reset one more time (power off - power on holding button til it cycles off again - power on).

I've done this ~15 times to no avail (in amongst various other things).
16th time exactly the same? Booted into BIOS recovery.
Recovered the Main BIOS from backup.
Used q-flash to flash the BIOS to the latest version.
Seems to be working again.
Wish I knew why the first 15 times didn't work.
Have also made a freeDOS USB to test if it happens again.
Enormous thanks for all the help. I may pull the trigger on the upgrades anyway if the problem repeats itself.

Yeah know what you mean
I hate throwing stuff out unless it's clearly toasted
Haven't got a 1150 cpu you could test with
You tried members market?
Perhaps someone would lend you a cpu
Even if it's like pay for it then get money back once you return it
Lot of helpful people in these forums

Persistence pays off
Must admit although I like my x570 aorus ultra bios has been a total pita compared to my previous Asus board

Yeah I was thinking along those lines if someone could help me out. I did a post in general hardware to get advice
