UPDATE: Issue seems to be a loose connection with 24pin and motherboard due to poor clip manufacturing. Thanks to anyone who took the time to leave a comment or read my post.

So the First motherboard was an MSI B75MA-P45 the 2nd motherboard was an Asrock H61M-DGS R2.0 and the 3rd was an Asrock H61M-DGS. The MSI board never made a post beep when successfully booting and the other 2 Asrock boards didn't have speakers if I remember correctly. When the boards died the PC shut off immediately and when I tried to Re-boot all the lights and fans would be on but there would be no signal sent to the monitor. This has been the same with all the boards except the 3rd one which tried to Re-boot right after it shut down.

I have not updated the BIOS and the boot drive is a 3 year old SSD which has had no issues so far.

So let me start off by saying that I built this PC about 3 years ago and all was fine up to around 3-4 months ago. 3-4 months ago my first motherboard died. I got my PC diagnosed to find out if any other components were dead/damaged. I was told my components were fine and that my motherboard had died due to CMOS failure. The replacement motherboard lasted for about 3 months and died due to the same cause. The most recent motherboard has lasted 2 weeks (also appears to be CMOS failure) Each motherboard has died shortly after my PC attempts to boot the PC begins the boot-up process and shuts off immediately. The most recent death is unique in the way that after shutting down it tried to boot again but failed. I have no Idea what is causing this issue and why the issue has become more frequent. If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated this issue is incredibly frustrating and is becoming somewhat costly. TLDR: 3 broken motherboards with no idea of the cause.

Thanks if i have any more questions I'l PM you and i will also check out those videos you recommended.

Thanks for the reply W-L i really appreciate it. I was wondering to re-assemble the case would I have to purchase a Rivet Gun? Or would screws/nuts and bolts be fine?

So let me start this off by saying that I have never done any modding or any DIY work before. I am planning to get the Phanteks Enthoo ATX and give it a new paint job. I would like to give it a colour and finish similar to the M4 A1 - S hotrod skin from CS:GO. Are their any paints like this or would i have to get a paint custom mixed? How difficult is it to disassemble and re-assemble a case like this and what tools will I need for a job like this? Also can I tint the side window on the case or would I have to buy tinted Acrylic to replace the window? http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/cswikia/images/9/91/Csgo-chop-shop-announcement-m4a1s-hot-rod.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150527145028 ^ M4 A1 - S Hotrod

It would be cool to have a NUC

I'd build my first liquid cooling system.

I would like to use Newegg or NCIX but they don't ship to ireland

Hey i'm building a new Pc and i'm thinking about using TigerDirect to buy parts from. Has anyone had any bad experiences with them? and what is the shipping like when buying from ireland?

Hello I am building my first pc and i would like to know which is the best retailer for prices and shipping to ireland?

To be honest id rather get the H100i because its only 19$ more than the Phanteks PH-TC14PE and it isn't as big and it just looks better.

Quick question for anyone still here. Have any of you used Tiger Direct i'm a first time builder and buyer are they reliable or are they just bad?
