Boot Loop No Post

DolphinOps · April 25, 2018

Hey all so earlier today I was on my desktop and it completely and totally froze up and so I performed a hard reboot and when I attempted to start it again rather than powering on like normal, all the lights would go on and the fans would spin up for a second then stop, and it does that in a loop until it is either unplugged or the power supply is shut off.

Things that I've already tried

-Reseating all power supply cables

-Reseating the ram

-Removing the gpu

-Clearing the Cmos

System specs

-Intel core i5 8600k at stock speeds

-MSI z370 gaming plus motherboard

-2x8gb Crucial ballistix sport ddr4

-MSI gaming x rx480 4gb

-EVGA 500b 80+ bronze psu

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I just spent nearly $600 upgrading this system.

Are you able to verify that all your components definitely work? You may require a friend or relative's PC for this.

Hey thanks for the reply I had my notifications shut off so I didn't see this till now, but after a fair amount of troubleshooting and trying different things to see if I could get it to boot I figured out that the problem was one of the dimm slots on my motherboard died and it took one of my ram sticks with it. The computer is currently functioning albeit with half the ram from before and I intend to rma the motherboard and replace the dead ram.
