Broken pc

[ComputerNerdDude158]

Hello peoples, my pc is having trouble with a thing...so, specs are, i5 3570k,

Corsair Vengeance 12 GB (3 x 4 GB) DDR31866 ram, asus p8z77-v lx motherboard, and some 450 watt psu.

So whenever I turn it on, it goes into a boot loop, it will say the normal "press f2 or del to enter bios setting" and then....turns off and turns on again, I have tried different ram that i know is comparable with the MB, taken out my rx 560, taken out all drives, disconnected all usb keyboards, mice, and everthing, and if I press f2 or del it doesn't enter the bios settings, it just goes back into the boot loop! Anyone know what could be wrong?

So folks can help you out better, what is the model of the psu?

ENYLE 450W EN-450F12BK

Have you tried taking out the CMOS battery for a few minutes and reseating it?

That's most likely your issue.  Had the same issue recently with another shoddy branded PSU then swapped it for a CXM 550w and it solved the boot loop issue.

Okay I'll try that thanks! New psu is something I've been needing probably, and if that's not it, I can use it in my next pc build

Grey label CX/CXMs are usually cheap in most regions.  There's all the system power 9s.

Didn't work, I got a evga 600w br, still the boot loop

That's not really a good PSU and known to have problems.

But it's doing the same thing a like 30 dollar china psu did, and that china one worked for my pc for about 3 years so this should at least get it too boot...shouldn't it?

You basically side graded in quality both are known for said issues.  It's possible it's the RAM too.  One or more of the stick could be faulty.  The CPU can be the problem too, but that's kinda rare.  Even the mobo can cause boot loop issues.

But, going over the list it could possible be the mobo if a better quality psu doesn't fix the problem.

I tried other ram, and a new cpu, so either the MB or still the psu

Ya, try one of the ones I mentioned if that fails then it's most likely the mobo.  

I may try putting my psu in another pc and see if it boots for that one

Question, did you ever try to oc on this board?  Asking cuz it doesn't seem like that great of a board.  The vrms lack properly cooling for a z series board and it's a pretty low phase one too.  

I did overclock my cpu.....

Could be the board then.  Not sure about protections on z77.  Wasn't heavily focused on Intel at the time.

I mean it's a lga 1155 board anyways, I should probably go ahead and rebuild my pc

Well, Zen 2 is being shown off next monday and probably released around July-September since AMD did state Q3.  However, you could get zen/zen+ or 8th/9th gen intel rig.  Or, if you wanted to stick to DDR3 then Haswell is about as far as you can go .  I'd outright avoid FX from AMD as the single thread is kinda ass on those.   If you meant going with a later gen platform.

I'll probably do ryzen

If you wanna upgrade right now the tomahawk b450+2600 is a pretty good deal.

Awesome! Thank you bro! You have been very helpful!
