System not booting

[Marziin111]

Hei guys I need some help for an old pic build. It is not possible to boot any OS or try to reinstall any. I see the Windows flag or Debian symbol but after a few seconds of loading the systems freezes an shuts down.

My System
Motherboard: Asus H7P55M-pro
CPU: i5 760
RAM: 2x 4GB Crucial DDR3 1600MHz
GPU: MSI TwinFrozer GTX560ti

I have testers two different drives, one WD Blue Cavier and a Sageate Barracuda, system recognises both of them but can't but out of them, same as of my dvd-drive. The system recognises its and try's to start for example the Windows 10 DVD but then freezes at the Windows flag (also tried with 8Pro and Vista).

I tried it with another graphics card but no succes. The system also beeps of there is no GPU available, what probably means it should work with my card, or not? Putting out the Ram gives also beebs and a Linux Ram Test recognises the sticks as well. So what is wrong with my setup? I know the BIOS is quit old, is there possibility to update it without any OS installed?

Thanks for your help!

You can do anything in the BIOS without an OS installed, that's how you install the OS in the first place. A few questions:

• Can you boot into BIOS... at all?
• If you turn on the computer, do you hear the hard drives start to spin up?
• Any loose SATA III, or SATA II connectors on your motherboard?
• What did you do before this happened?

Hello,

 

yes I can boot into BIOS

 

yes I can hear them spinning, it loads the data of the drives until it freezes, so they probably work.

 

tried several SATA3 and also the IDE Connector.

 

I built the system, got the motherboard out of a running system, same as GTX, Ram and HDD are new.

Reset your CMOS to default settings and try again

 

or in extreme cases I would unplug the whole system and take it apart, then reasemble it outside the case (i know this have little to nothing to do with the main problem, but have saved me once or twice).
