My Computer Just Died, Help!!!

A4N0NYM0U52 · August 28, 2020

So yesterday, I was installing Sheep-It (a rendering farm program) and I was playing a game in the background( a not taxing game) and suddenly my computer seized up a froze, playing on sound from an animation continously and 15 or so seconds later it shutdown, and then rebooted, going into BIOS. I tried booting it up, and after I left BIOS it wouldn't start up, and I couldn't start BIOS anymore. Should I recover my drives, and is my computer officially dead?

I also fully disassembled my PC and checked every component out, and I couldn't find anything.

Connect the drives to another PC and check with CrystalDiskInfo their health

Is the PC old? Could post your specs?

-If you are able to get into the BIOS at least once check RAM and CPU information to see what they say

If the RAM chip controller/RAM itself somehow broke maybe it'll display wrong SPD (thing that contain information on it).

-Reset the BIOS. Check with the user manual the right procedure as it's not always the same.

-Try with only one RAM at a time with every slot available.

-Disconnect any not essential component

(RGB lightning, chassis fans [not cpu one], fan controllers and such things) and maybe troubleshoot the problem with the motherboard out of the case to exclude any problem from prospective/other things from your part.
