Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I haven't. Removing the mobo would rule out a short somewhere (correct me if I am wrong). But since I haven't touched anything inside the case, I don't see how that could be the issue. Same goes for CMOS. How could that need to be reset after magically working for 4 years?
I can try both and...

All of a sudden I am no longer getting any video to my monitor. I also noticed that the USB's are not getting any power. PC will not post when...
