pc not booting beyond bios screen

[switcheys]

hi

 

i have a i7 4770k, z87 sabertooth mobo and a asus gtx 780 dcu2

 

when playing just wow tonight suddenly all my open windows were moved to my main display for no reason then the pc just died all together

 

when i tried to restart the pc it would only get as far as the american megatrends bios screen where it would detect my cpu/ram/keyboard/mouse fine then not do anything else

 

i have tried clearing cmos

it wont let me access my bios at all and no component seems to be hot in anyway

 

is there anyone out there who can help

Flip the switch on the back of the power supply and press the power button for 10 sec then try to reboot.

sounds like a HDD or SSD faliure from a brutal shutdown caused by something else in the system or they reached the end of their life! What is ur storage arrangement?

take the GPU out and see if you can use the onboard GPU?

Why, the GPU is working?

Unplug your HDDs and see if it passes the place where it got stuck.

Great to see your problem is solved.

Probably your GPU wasn't installed properly, I once thought my GPU was dead because of that.
