Ok so yesterday I got a ssd and I put windows on it but I couldn't boot from it without my old drive so I went into the bios to change the boot drive and I also changed the ram from 1333 to its normal speed 1600 then restarted but I just get a black screen so I took the pc apart to find the problem I couldn't find any I even cleaned it everything that is connected to the motherboard still gets power such as my blue snowball but a few weeks ago I made another post because the power LEDs randomly went off after being on for a year well the phase LEDs are back on also so do I have a dead motherboard

Remove CMOS Battery and leave for about 30 mins, or if there is a Bios reset button/jumper press or use the jumper to clear the CMOS/BIOS. That will return the BIOS to factory settings.
