Error description: PC will reboot and fans will power up but will immediately restart before getting to BIOS. No display on screen. No beep sounds from speakers.
I've been doing research for now and have tested the following components and removed them:
-2x4gb ram (tried swap method too)
-GPU
-2 HDD
-1 SSD
I have also breadboarded to ensure that the normal power button has not shorted
The remaining components are:
-Intel i5 CPU
- MSI z77a g45 motherboard (cleared CMOS as well)
-seasonic 100-240 VAC
I have reseated the CPU as well although have not applied new heat paste.
Anyone know what is causing this?
Maybe I should also note that I've had weird rebooting problems before, but never a loop. On some cold mornings, I would power up the PC and it would crash just before the windows logo, but then be fine afterwards.
