PC doesnt boot / cant get into BIOS

[NoName78]

Writing fromy my Laptop - short rundown - im basically out of ideas -.-

 

Got AsRock X79 Xtreme4m board + 2 CPUs i7 3820 and i7 4930k - got the latter new installed a week ago runs fine. 3820 runs on 1.0 bios and 4930 on 3.00 and higher

 

Want to try my HDD on a different SATA slot - AsRock - had it on intel slot before - install drivers etc - restart and switch plugs

doesnt boot - goes into bios - notice it doesnt give that as boot option - remove the other 2 boot options so maybe it will automatically look for it

Doesnt boot anymore at all - might have actually touched the clear cmos button on the back of my pc while plugging in power not sure

 

nothing works cant get into bios - clear cmos - nothing works - replace CPU with old one - start and reset cmos - reset cmos - full clean boot  - restart instant flash bios again to 3.30 from usb - noice the bios veraion still tells me its 3.3 even tough i used the clr cmos switch and it literally gave me like a bios installation thing - odd  - whatever instant flash bios to 3.30 - boot to windows - shut down 

 

install new CPU again - doesnt boot - error b7 - says check CPU and memory - try booting with every memory stick by itself - doesnt start error b7 - reinstall all memory sticks - clean out CPU - doesnt start

 

reinstall old CPU - now doesnt start either - error b7 - clr cmos switch doesnt solve the problem - reset bios via jumpers - still same problem

 

Punched my face in a wal multiple times - came here

 

Any suggestions appreciated

Could possibly be a dead board, have you got another board? Try run the same things in another board and see if it works, if it does, board is dead, if it doesnt something else isnt working.

Nope unfortunately my old board doesnt have the LGA 2011 socket.

 

In fact my specific socket only supports 2 generations of Intel CPUs - the i7 3000 and the 4000

 

just amazing value considering that was a fairly expensive board back when i bought it

Im just gonna reuse this thread. Concerning the board:

 

Any chance a random chinese board will work with my i7-4930k? E.g. the XZANTE x79t LGA2011 boards you find on ebay.

 

Considering the almost 10 year old boards that are officially supported still come in at 300 Euro.

 

Is this a good time to stop playing games on PC - because it really feels like a good time to just say fuck it - windows 10 and parts that cost as much as a console each zzz
