Pc suddenly stopped posting

[Simorote]

Hi everybody, i really need to solve this since my pc has really importat files.

My pc has always worked perfectly, but this morning it started showing the symptoms highlighted in the video i posted below. It was working just fine yesterday, but this morning, when i tried to turn it on, it wasnt posting, sometimes it was showing the MOBO screen but it would stay there in perpetuity, and a couple of times it even booted and windows started, but as the system would go under the slightest load it would freeze. These symptoms quickly degenerated to those in the video, and this is currently the state of the matter.

 

I tried to switch the 2 RAM sticks and i placed them in different slots; when i tried this with a single stick it would alleviate the problem, in fact it booted and i was able to run some programs, but again after a couple of minutes under load it would freeze, and after a few restarts it went back to the state is in at the moment. Then i tried to reset the BIOS but this did nothing.

 

Specs:

CPU: i7 4770

MOBO: asrock h87m pro4

RAM: HyperX Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz

GPU: gtx 1050ti

PSU: seasonic platinum 520-fanless

DRIVE: samsung 850 evo 500gb

OS: windows 10 64bit

If you have important files on there, I'd suggest you plug the drive into another machine and make a copy.

sounds like an issue either with the SSD and or the Windows install. The BIOS could also be corrupted since it hangs on the splash screen you said. 

 

But if it is the BIOS you might be SoL, because I don't think your board has dual bios.

reseat everything in your machine. everything; videocard, power connectors, everything that plugs into the motherboard. it could be that one of the power connectors isn't inserted all the way, or something.

Take out all but one stick of RAM then try booting it like that, if the same thing persists then switch the RAM sticks around. If nothing happens then try pulling out the GPU and use the mobo's internal graphics. If that doesn't work then test your power supply and make sure it is supplying power all through out. If none of that is the problem then its time to get a new mobo. 

 

Is there anything you're not telling us? Like if you had an electrical storm, bad surge protector, something along those lines? 

 

Anyway the best practice is to remove and see what works. if something does work then add to it until the problem happens again. Be sure to use anti-static measures. Don't want to destroy any more components. 

I already did all that, no luck; as i said, the thing with the ram sticks seemed to help at first, but then the same problem resurfaced.

No there weren't any electrical storms.

 

How do i test the psu?
