Still got the old gfx card? swap them out and see if the system boots up.

 

From what I could see from the vid. 

 

Ryzen System? at least some AMD with wraith cooling. Your system seems to hang in a kind of boot loop. Do you have looked up the post codes in the mainboard manual? 

 

Right now... kaputt.

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

It's my first build. So it's only graphics card I have. Yh it's a Ryzen 1700. None of them seem to be error codes from what the manual says.

What I would do in such a case:

 

1. reset the bios (how to do that, the manual form the mb tells you)

2. unplug everything but the cpu, then plug everything back in

 

But first, see what the boot codes tell you. Perhaps they tell you something where to look for the fault like voltage, gfx, cpu, ram...

OK then I am not too sure. Make sure all your cables are in the correct places. I had a similar issue once cause something was plugged in the wrong place. (my issue was the front panel connectors)

 

Maybe check for any bent pins on the CPU itself?

 

And finally try switching your RAM around, sometimes that can help

can't you usually clear the CMOS by clicking a button on the IO of your mobo?

Because the system was running for some time, I would not go for bent cpu pins. 

 

Again, what do the Post codes from the Mainboard tell?

And then it starts over again? phew. Try booting with only one ram stick and just the gfx card. If the cpu has integrated gfx, try connecting the display to the onboard gfx port, taking out the gfx card as well. 

 

From what is shown there could be many culprits, wrong seated sata cable, gfx card blown, mainboard blown, psu defective, harddrive blown... 

 

So we need to single out what we can before starting to RMA things.

Tried one ram stick. Still the same tried each stick on its own. Still the same 

There is'nt intregated gfx but I will remove the graphics card and see if it will change the post codes. 

Update: It didnt change amything.

The cpu led light is on while boot, and vga are off. The Dram is off but will just randomly blink and go off again.

I think I might have the culprit. Last night I was using the gigabyte RGB fusion app on my phone. Wanted to test it out. I tapped on blue and my phone froze and the motherboard didn't change colour so I closed the app and went sleep. Today mourning is when I say my PC froze.
