    Faulty Motherboard or PSU

    Update I got a replacement cpu from Intel. Which worked fine for about a month. Now the same behavior is back. The motherboard power cycles on and off with no beep codes (leds flash fans spin then stop). I have disconnected everything and reset the bios. I had the same mild overclock as before...

    Faulty Motherboard or PSU

    Everything has been done outside of the case with all non-essential parts disconnected. I have tried: reseting the bios re-seating the CPU one stick in different slots and without (I haven't tried different ram) different motherboards I even tried the boards without CPUs (nothing happened)...

    Faulty Motherboard or PSU

    I've just checked with a new PSU and I get the same behavior. I also have attached a speaker. The board powers on and the CPU error light turns on. There are no beeps and no video output. So by processes of elimination it has to be the CPU.

    Faulty Motherboard or PSU

    I forgot to mention everything is still under warranty, so I'm hopefully I won't have to buy anything. However buying a cheap CPU to test with might be the next step.

    Faulty Motherboard or PSU

    I have tested without the memory and didn't change anything. I don't suspect the power supply unless there is something the tester can't detect.

    Faulty Motherboard or PSU

    I don't have a speaker so no chirps. Are the error LEDs as reliable as beep codes? And I've re-seated the CPU.

    Faulty Motherboard or PSU

    So I have an Asus Z170I Pro Gaming with a 6600K. The first problems I had was the PC would freeze randomly. I could not get a stress test to duplicate the freezing. This happen several times over a week. I went to turn on the computer one morning and it would constantly power cycle on and off...

    SENTRY 2.0: Evolution of console-sized gaming PC case

    Since you're adding support for a 120 AIO, would it be possible to fit a 240mm AIO with no GPU?
