Question ASUS Z97-P can't get past splash screen (not even to bios)

[spartanhedgey]

Hi there,

Last night after trying to boot up Apex Legends, my PC crashed and upon rebooting I was not able to get past the splash "Asus" screen, even after pressing del/f2 to get into the bios menu (it just won't let me proceed). It's really shit timing as well considering I have a University project deadline tomorrow at 5pm and I'm much more efficient on my desktop as opposed to my laptop.

Here's the system info I was able to gather by looking through my emails, sorry it's a bit short:
Asus Z97-P ATX
i5 4690k CPU
Gigabyte GTX 980 Windforce 3X 4GB GDDR5
2x HyperX 4GB sticks (sorry I don't know more)
As for drives I have a Sandisk SSD, HDD and SSHD.

Things I've tried so far:

• Isolating the RAM
• Resetting the CMOS (both by using the jumper cap and by removing the battery and trying the jumper cap)
• Isolating the drives (1 at a time, and also with no drives at all)
• Trying to boot windows media (no luck, still stuck at splash screen with USB in)

Any potential solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Dan

Try to remove the videocard and boot only with your integrated gpu. When i say remove it i mean completely remove it (physically) because if you only remove the power it still can create problems if it has failed.

Ah yes I tried that as well, unintentionally albeit because I couldn't get to the battery without it. Still no luck :/
