So suddenly my motherboard seems to be broken. Last night i was playing Rainbow six: Siege when my fps dropped so i restarted my pc but nothing came up on screen. first though was that my GPU was broken but i tested it on another computer and it works fine. also tried another power supply but no difference.
I've trying taking battery off, reseated components but only light that comes on is those fancy leds around Mobo.
At start up my proceccor is not heating at all otherlike my GPUs own proceccor.
Anyone else has got these problems and is there anyway to fix this or do i need to replace my mobo?


asus Z170 pro gaming
Intel I7-6700k (not OC)
EVGA GTX 1080 FTW
2x Venegance DDR4 8gb

Recheck very carefully that you have good connections between the power supply and the 24-pin connector on the motherboard. Same for the CPU 4-pin power connector.

If nothing, then remove the motherboard and with a strong light, carefully inspect the motherboard (front and back) for discoloration around the circuits and inspect the capacitors for any bulging or leaking capacitors.

If still nothing, and if your motherbaord is still under warranty, contact ASUS to start the RMA process.

If not under warranty, start looking for a new motherboard.
Without us (or you) knowing exactly what's wrong, it's very hard to tell you if there is a way to fix it. Are those "fancy LEDs" in fact diagnostic LEDs? Do you have an owners manual, or can you find it on the Asus website for your motherboard and use the diagnostic LEDs to tell us what error codes are appearing?

Does the owners manual have any other diagnostic troubleshooting steps you can take?

fancy leds are just red led what is around that motherboard, nothing else. My diagnostic LEDs dont show anything even if i took my RAM off. there was 4LEDs for diagnostic: RAM, cpu, vga & boot device. none of them wont light up. but when i try to boot pc there is nothing coming to screen it just goes on but nothing happens.
