BIOS not posting properly.

[BuildToLast]

Hello guys I got a question!

 

I am having issues for the past month with a 6700k in combination with a Asus Z170-Pro. 50% of the time it doesnt post which means I have no clue if it is a problem beeing caused by the cpu or motherboard itsself. It also does it without any other hardware enabled such as GPU ram etc. Anyone has a clue since I am reading Asus motherboards have more of these issues in the past. Every driver has been reinstalled and is up to date, I also tries diffrent versions of the BIOS but nothing seems to work. Any info would be nice! 

 

TLDR&

 

BIOS posts only 50% of the time, is it the cpu or motherboard?

My external power supply desktop does this too. Weird.

If your problems are only during boot-up, I'd say the mobo. If the CPU would have been damaged, I'd think it would remain unstable.

 

(do them fans spin up? Error codes in the form of a display on the mobo or beeps?)

when it does post does it crash at all?

 

when it doesnt post is there any kind of errors given? 

 

you could have a bad stick of ram

Fans spin, motherboard leds are fine no error codes or red lights. No beeps either.

No ram was applied when testing this, only a cpu cooler a cpu and a motherboard. And no when it runs it does not crash at all.
