Good evening all

hoping someone may be able to advise, my computer has been running faultlessly for the past couple of years. now all of a sudden it wont boot past the bios, nothing has changed in terms of hardware or software.

I've checked all the basics that i can think of
- connections to the mb
- removed ram and tried in different slots, tried only 1 stick out of the 2 etc
- disconnected all external devices
- disconnected all hard drives and tried 1 at a time
- tried doing a windows repair
- removed graphics card and tried booting with MB graphics

none of the above has made any difference, my initial thoughts are a potential failed boot hard drive?

any help would be greatly received

specs are the following

i7 10700k
MSI mpg z490
16gb ram corsair vengeance ddr4 ( 2 x 8gb)

 
Any codes or beeps provided by your board? You might be able to get a speaker for the board dirt cheap if no one else suggests other options.

Got a spare drive to replace boot drive?
i haven't got a speaker but if needed ill order one, ive just ordered a replacement hard drive to try a reinstall tomorrow.
