constant reboot PC doesn't post and keeps rebooting every 5 seconds

[cavich]

Hi everyone,

 

my PC was working without issues for years, and suddenly today when I turned it on, it kept rebooting every 5 seconds, without entering the BIOS, and with all the fans spinning. I opened it and I saw that the DRAM_LED on the motherboard is red, so I tried using just one ram stick and changing the place of the sticks, with no luck. I did a clear CMOS on the motherboard with no changes in the behaviour of the PC. 

 

Components:

Intel i7 4790

Asus Z97-A

DDR3 G.Skill Ares 1600 Mhz 16 Gb (4x4 gb)

Radeon R9 270x 2Gb

Thermaltake 750 W

Samsung sata ssd

 

Windows 10

 

Please help me, and thanks in advance for the answers.

No, it doesn't have time to post, the screen is black and no signal arrives to the monitor. Usually, it took more or less 5 s for the monitor to receive the signal and show the first screen from where you can access the bios. The PC crashes and reboots before anything has time to appear on the screen. So no safe mode either unfortunately.

The problem is that I don't have time to get into the bios or windows, because it reboots 5 seconds after I press the power button. The monitor doesn't receive any video signal, it just reboots before anything can happen.

Do u have a different set of compatible ram, i doubt thats the problem but u can try, or maybe since u have no video output the gpu is dead, maybe some cables are loose, check those things
