  1. I wish you the best of luck with the new motherboard.
  2. Its hard to say for sure but, if you have swapped out RAM and tried multiple different ram sticks in that configuration. Made sure that you have tested both RAM slots with a known working stick then it looks like it could be the motherboard but, did you make sure your motherboard had only the absolute necessities connected to it while running your tests? Maybe even try another power supply if you can to see if power might be an issue. (I highly doubt it is but, I personally try not to make assumptions when troubleshooting) Plus if it works then you don't need to buy another motherboard. It really depends what you have more of though. Time or money. Which warranty ended? The manufacturers warranty? Or the warranty provided by the store? Maybe test those sticks of RAM with the latest version of Memtest86. I've had sticks of ram post just fine only to find them get 20000 errors within seconds on memtest86.
  3. Have you tested both slots with one stick to make sure that one of the slots hasn't gone bad?
  4. Your M.2 drive might have a specific program from the manufacturer that you can use to try and diagnose it. Check their website and look up your specific model. Or if you have another computer with an M.2 slot. Try that drive in the other slot to see if it has the same issue.
  5. Is the OS on the SSD a fresh install using the new laptop with the proper laptop drivers? If not then it would most likely be driver conflicts. If so, maybe check CPU/GPU temperatures? I usually stay away from laptops because they are more difficult to troubleshoot if something goes wrong and you can only replace a small number of components. If your temperatures are normal you might have to contact Asus and RMA it. The laptop should have at least a 1 year manufacturers warranty.
  6. Try recreating the problem with only your boot drive plugged in and see if the issue occurs again without any other SATA devices plugged in. Be sure to back up anything important. Its possible something is dying but, its hard to be sure which device is. If the problem does occur with only the boot drive plugged in, swap it to a different SATA connector and repeat until you have tried all of them. I have had one hard drive randomly die completely out of nowhere but, when that happened to me it was dead permanently and not able to be seen again. Try testing the other hard drive in a different computer if you can.
  7. First I would check to see if every connection and component is seated properly. Maybe re-seat the RAM and do the same with the SSD.
  8. Do you get a Blue Screen of Death for a split second and then a restart occurs? Or does the computer just power off and back on again?
  9. You did say that you reinstalled windows though so that should have fixed it if there was a software issue. =S
  10. Oh no. =S What power supply do you have by the way?
  11. If that doesn't work. Its hard to be absolutely certain but, its looking to me like it could either be your DVI cable or the port on your video card. Unless someone else has any other ideas. =S You could also try and connect your monitor to your sister's pc with your dvi cable and see if it is detected. If it is then the DVI port on your video card might have failed.
