Trouble With PC At Boot. No BIOS. Looking for a 2nd opinion other than my own. Here's what I've done so far:
I was playing a game and then I got a Windows 10 bluescreen for the first time ever that said something "trouble with your PC" but then the system shutdown seconds later before I could read it. I assumed it was rebooting, but the video never loaded. Restarted the computer and still no video. Moved the monitor cables, unplugged one of them, plugged one into the DVI port of the board. No luck.
I then proceeded to pop the case and inspect things. I pulled the RAM and put one stick in to all of the slots one at a time and still nothing. Tried the other stick and no luck. Pulled the GTX 1080 and plugged into the Mobo directly, still no luck. No beeps of any kind to indicate RAM or otherwise issues. Finally I noticed there were LEDs flashing when I turned it on labelled "EZ Debug LEDs".
What I see is there are 4 LEDs: CPU, DRAM, VGA, and BOOT. When I press the power button, I quickly see the CPU LED lightup and turn off, then the DRAM light on and off, nothing at all from VGA and BOOT. Is this telling me my VGA is bad? If so, I wonder why both the Nvidia card and the mobo video went bad at the exact same time.
I have also cleared the CMOS with a jumper on JBAT1 and did a method where I removed the battery, pulled the power from the wall socket, and pressed power several times and booted with no NVIDA card and the monitor plugged into the onboard graphics, but it didn't help. I also reseated the CPU.
Hoping it was a bad motherboard, I ordered a replacement. I installed and I'm having the same issue. My logic leads me to believe the CPU is bad, but I really want another opinion before I spend upwards of 300 bucks that might not be refundable to replace it. Someone claimed PSU possibly, but it looks to me like the power boots up fine, but maybe I'm wrong?
Thanks for any help in advance.
