Motherboard Problem and possible GPU

[justMiga]

Hey Guys
It's been almost 4 years since i assembled my PC, the specs were:
i7 3770
MSI ZH77A-G41 (This is the most important component for my problem)
Gigabyte GTX 660
8Gb of DDR3 Corsair Memory
Antec 520w PSU
Samsung 850EVO (Not sure if this is gonna help you)

Anyway the pc always run just fine until 3 days ago i got no post from turning on the PC. I Opened it, removed the Graphics card and replugged it and I got video signal.
Yesterday I got the same problem but removing the graphics card didn't work, well it kind of but let me explain more in details. I Removed the card, resetted the CMOS, unplugged the 24 Pin and the 4+4 from the motherboard. I even changed the PCI-e slot for the card. When I changed the slot the PC posted. But when i Closed the case and rebooted it didn't post anymore. I tried using an old HD4000 (OEM) to test it and it seemed to work for a moment, then the problem started to happen again. I Though it was a problem of the GPU so i used a r7 265 (XFX) borrowed from a friend. I didn't work either. 
In all of this The iGPU from Intel worked so i used it in this way. Today i Used DDUninstaller (The utility from Guru3D i think) to remove the Intel Display Drivers and install in order to prepare the sistem for the r7 265 I mentioned Earlier. Now not even the iGPU from intel works and when i turn On the machine it post but don't go further than the BIOS screen (Not actually the BIOS but the MSI Image), i can' enter the BIOS because the sistem give me a Black screen (The Monitor is ON) with a little white pixel in the top-left corner. I tried to Change PSU, Monitor, Video out( VGA and HDMI) and all of those gave me the same result. 

Now, I think is a Motherboard problem and i am wondering if it is worth to Buy a used 1155 socket Board from Ebay or just sell the i7 3770 and try to upgrade the sistem to Haswell or SkyLake(I don't like this solution cause i don't have much money to spend and i think SkyLake is already too pricy)

Anyone has any other solution to try?

Thanks a Lot!

Skylake isn't that expensive how much do you want to spend to upgrade.

If i can sell the i7 for around  160-180€ i would add something like 50-70 bucks, It's not much but that's how much i can afford right now

Since you need to buy a new Mobo, I would at least go up to haswell. I paid $200 for a 4690k and $140 for a Z97 Mobo, and that was a year ago. I'm sure they're cheaper now. You can get a Z97 board for $80, and an i5 for $180 if you do some shopping.
