Hello all,
I have come here at last resort, before I go completely insane.
COMP COMPONENTS: Gigabyte G170N Gaming 5, i7 6700k, 250gb 850 evo, Corsair 650, CM 212evo, GTX 1080 Strix, 32gb Crucial Ballistix Sport.
Periphs: Logitech C922x, MechanicalEagle Z-77, Gmyle Compact, Dell U3415W, LG 27UD68-P, MX Master, G602
My Rig had been working for 3 months before last Wednesday. I received my refurbished Asus PG279Q and got everything set up. I played games, used Premiere, and everything was stable. Left to run some errands, came back and attempted to wake the computer. Nothing. I took all the normal troubleshooting steps to isolate the problem (Remove periphs, Clear CMOS, try on-board graphics). All with no signal. I determined that my MoBo must have gotten a surge or just randomly cooked so ordered an ASUS B150I PRO. It arrived in the mail today and was installed.
Everything worked fine, I played games and had a smooth experience. Left to do some errands, came back, attempt to wake from sleep and NOTHING. The Gigabyte mobo would at least spin up fans but this ASUS literally does nothing. I have tried all default troubleshooting steps, NOTHING. NO FANS, NO LIGHTS, NOTHING.
What is causing my MoBos to brick? The only thing that changed was the addition on my ASUS monitor. Could it be the usb hub in the monitor shorting something out? If so, why does it need to go to sleep before bricking?
I am just at a loss, nothing makes sense, and any advice or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew
