Alright so one day I was playing a game of Black Ops 3, and suddenly my pc turns off bizarrely. The screen goes black and it shuts down. I tried turning it back on, and now there is a red led next to DIMM_B2 on my mobo, no other LED lights up besides cpu_ov. This issue happened to me roughly a month ago. I dropped it off at the computer store and some how it was fully functional, the error went away so they couldn't figure out what it was, now its come back and I can't launch windows. If I turn on the pc nothing shows up on my monitor and also my Razer RGB black widow doesn't turn on (but for some reason my phone will charge etc.) My specs might be able to help.

I can't figure out whats wrong, I've tried swapping around the ram, clearing cmos and reseating the cpu, nothings changed.

have you tried removing everything non-essential, and seeing if it'll post?

 

For basics I mean, one stick of ram (and swap that over if the stick you tested didn't work) no graphics card (use integrated graphics off the cpu) the motherboard, the cpu, the psu....and yeah you had probably better include a cooler (you don't need it for post, but you will if you want it to post for more than 30 seconds)

Try switching the ram dimms around. Is it beeping at all?

Theres no beeping, and I'm currently using a h100i on the cpu, its fully functional from what I can tell

okay a cooler isn't required to post....and I've had issues with h100's not grabbing power from sata before. I know this is cringeworthy, but unplug it from power, and the motherboard, and just use it as an oversized heat sink for now. All you need is a post, you don't need anything beyond that initial 10 seconds while you're swapping out ram dimms, it should cool down enough to try again....

unrelated side note....could it be the psu? the slow trickle of charge out of the caps would explain why it booted at the technician's...

 

A way to test this is switch off the system completely. unplug the power cable, switch the psu back on for 30 seconds (to discharge the caps) switch off, plug it back in, and then go through your normal startup sequence.
