PC not POSTing after Win10 update

[stillesWasser]

Hello, looking for some help after watching countless videos and reading even more threads in help-forum.

 

Situation: I turned off my freshly installed Win10 PC during the "turning off computer" rotating-circle screen after clicking on "Update and turn off computer"(after about 20mins of waiting). Instantly turning it back on, it was not able to POST.

 

PSU/CPU/Case Fans  spin up, turn off, and all except the CPU fan start spinning again and keep turned on. HDD LED lights up once.

No display on both the IGPU aswell as the GPU. Not even the BIOS shows up. The computer basicly runs indefinitely.
Starting the computer with everything removed (RAM/GPU/all SATA connectors/all USB devices) causes the PC to power-cycle. As soon as one stick of RAM is inserted, the PC goes back to running indefinitely.

 

The mainboard has a dual-bios and I have tried a couple of different methods to force it to overwrite the main with the backup bios. I have reset the bios by removing the CMOS battery.

Plugin the mouse/keyboard in, the mouse does not light up(it usually does as soon as connected to an usb port), the keyboard numkey light does not work. Plugin my USB-SATA adapter, the indicator lights up, showing it getting power. Booting from USB flashmemory does not work.

 

Hardware: 

CPU: Intel Xeon 1245v3

Mainboard: Gigabyte z77P D3

RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Venegance

GPU: MSI GTX 1050Ti

PSU: Seasonic Focus 750W

 

 

Question: is my mainboard just toast? And if so, its the third mainboard that died in the last two months(kept buying used-ones). Now I am afraid that some of my hardware keeps destroying the mainboard. Is this even possible?

When buying new hardware, I will be looking into chaning the plattform to something newer like AM4. So the only hardware except for the ssd/hdd to be reused is the GPU. Is it possible a faulty GPU can destroy a mainboard?

 

Thank you for all your input. I know turning the pc off during a windows update is not the smartest, but it should now cause that.

It's probably a motherboard issue again and after all these I wonder if your PSU is destroying these motherboards. It's definitely not something related with the Windows update, in my opinion it's just a coincidence.
