Computer was working fine, then one day screen was black and fans were on. Tried restarting, nothing. Tried clearing CMOS - nothing (using both the jumper reset method and the CMOS battery removal\restart). Tried removing memory\swapping memory around, reseating connections, nothing. Tried a separate video card, and nothing. I've looked at lists on here of things to try, they mostly relate to NEW builds - but other than that: I'm stumped. I'm thinking its the motherboard but hoping someone can help me with some other ideas..
My specs:
Ryzen 1600 - stock cooler
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200)
ASRock AB350M Pro4 AM4 AMD Promontory B350 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
GIgabyte ATI 7950 video card
The one thing I haven't tried is different ram, but I've tried both sticks individually, and I highly doubt they both died at the same time? I've narrowed it down to either the motherboard or the CPU... and this particular motherboard you can't start without a video card (Ryzen won't display to onboard video apparently). Any other things to try before I get someone else to look at it - or send it back to newegg? Thank you.
