hi all.

Can't get my computer to post, I was out of town and came back and when I powered on my computer it doesn't post at all, I have power though and can see the bios code is A0.

Specs are
800w silent pro good cooler master
GTX 980
I5 2500k which I was using the OC genie to put it at 4.2.. I turned that off and reset to see if that would do it and it's off now, still no post
Msi z77a-gd65 and I updated to the most recent bios
I have a sound blaster z in there and
A network wifi card
Also 2 ssds one of which has the OS and an HDD with just some junk on it.
8gb of gskill ddr3 not sure the timings

I tried the cmos button on the back wasn't sure if it was working because
It still wouldn't post, I took out the battery and left it for five minutes,
Wouldn't post.. Not sure how to proceed. Please help
 
Have you tried removing components that aren't required and trying again?

Like removing the 980 and running onboard video or leaving just one ram slot in? I had a similar no post when I one of my 6pin video card cables broke.
 
The A0 code says that the computer has entered the OS. Take off the main hard drive and see if the code changes.
 
I read that as well however without onscreen display or a post beep I went a different direction lol
