Question Bootloop Intel Core i7-3770K + MSI MPower Z77

[Incognitone]

I don't know what to do, my PC has been acting like this and is stuck in this 'bootloop'. Watch the attached video to see what is going on.
Other components:

Intel Core i7-3770K
MSI MPower Z77
Kingston 4GB DDR3 RAM
EVGA 650 GQ PSU

Any tips?
Thank you!

The video is unavailable.

First, try to clear the COMS, and boot the PC to see what happens.

If you still have the problem, and you can try the "startup repair " method to fix the problem. How to https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-startup-repair-fix-boot-problems-windows-10 If that does not work, you will need to reinstall the OS.

The video should work now, it was listed as private.

Thanks for the reply, but clearing the CMOS did nothing, tried that before.
I am still a Win7 user so no Win10 tricks for me

i find it just weird that this won't boot...

The method, startup repair" should be same. But I added the one for win7. https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/139576-startup-repair-infinite-loop-recovery.html

But the PC doesn't get any further than just 1 second of booting after I press the power switch. This is not Windows related I'm afraid.
The only components that are active now are:
Motherboard + CPU + PSU + RAM.

How about remove the RAM too, clear the CMOS again, connect the monitor into the iGPU, then boot the PC, if your PC will not have display, and either the MB or CPU has problem.

Ok, great, thank you. I'll try this tomorrow. Will keep you updated...

 

[Incognitone]

Yeah so that didn't work either. Still the same problem.. :/

As for some buying advice, what is a decent MB for this processor? For casual use, not for gaming... cheap, but good

If you still want to overclock the i7, buy the used Z77, Z75 MB from ebay, amazon, or other sites. If you don't want to OC, you can guy B75, H77, or H61.

My overclocking days are over, thanks
