Hi,

I did the windows 10 "reset this computer" and chose to remove everything. It started the process and when finished it rebooted and presented a windows error page saying "inaccesible boot device". I had prepared a bootable usb drive with win 10 on it, so i went into BIOS and set "Removable device" at the top of the boot order. Once i did that and rebooted the computer couldnt find the monitors it seemed. Nothing at all was displayed except the monitors brand when turning them on/off. I tried with DVI,HDMI and AVI cables. The AVI-port is on the motherboard but it was the same.
 

So i went on and tried to clear the CMOS by flipping the jumper. I did as shown in this: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/370411/Acer-Predator-G3620.html?page=103 setting the jumper to pin 2 and 3.
While the pin was set on 2 and 3 i tried to start the computer without the GPU plugged in but nothing happend, it didnt get power.
I then switched the jumper back to default position and tried again. This time it got power and started but only for about 10 seconds and then restarting itself. After the first time its only on for maybe 5 seconds until restarting again and again and again until i pull the plug.

After this i tried to remove the circle battery on the motherboard for 30 seconds and i also plugged the GPU back in. The result is still the same, restarting forever.

 

While writing all this i realize im a bit dumb not doing research before trying all this since ive never even done it before. Hwoever, im very grateful for any advice on how to continue!

i dont think your cpu have integrated graphics

 

try unplugging everything (including front panel io, you can leave the power button and led)

and use GPU,CPU,one stick of ram, motherboard and psu to boot, see if it posts

and connect your monitor to your gpu

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately
