I think my motherboard is Dead...HELP!

[Rockstar_NmG]

Hello Forum, my PC is stuck in a BOOT LOOP, I'm fearing its time has come, it is a Z68-UD3H-B3 Rev 1.0 running a i5 2500k, 650W Corsair Power Supply, tried clearing CMOS with jumper, took out the battery, tried both sticks of RAM separately, removed all other components like GPU and Sound Cards. I'm gonna leave ir unppluged all night to see what happends, but it doesn't look good, if anyone has any other suggestions, i would appreciate your advice.

At what point does it reset?

Right After the Gigabyte Dual Bios Screen in the UEFI... like its trying to load it but just never gets there.

Well its trying to post so thats a start.

Is it 'trying' to load windows but isnt? Because if its getting that far its not your mobo

Didn't just upgrade to Windows 10, did you?

 

[Rockstar_NmG]

No, it doesn't get to windows startup, It just automatically goes to the UEFI window and restarts, It's morning here now, im gonna put it back together right now to see what happens. I'll let you guys know. i don't know why my replies to you Tom, are not showing in the Thread, hope its not repeating...

I took the PC to my technician, and he told me that the motherboard and cpu are probably ok, since its "posting". So he thinks its probably the PSU, its been REALLY HOT HERE LATELY. Lets hope fot the BEST, i'll let you guys know.

Its not the PSU - your tech hasnt got a clue.

Its more than likely something hdd based IMHO

I'm not sure if it might help, but perhaps a clean install might resolve your issue.
I just had something similar last week with the difference that my rig kept on crashing during windows logon. Did a clean install and all issues were out of the window.

Let's hope it's only either of those things. And TOM, you Rock!!! I'll keep you guys posted.

Disable UEFI and enable legacy mode, then try it.
